Teeter-Totter

I have compared life to many things and taken a look at it from all different angles but this analogy leads me to the image of a teeter-totter. Here we are thinking we are always at the bottom you know? Our butt is on the ground and we look up seeing that person above us on the other side. There they are, all smiles like they are practically flying in that blue-sky background. We want what they have so we push off thinking maybe we can achieve something great. But what we don’t realize about teeter-totters is that they go up and down not just up and up. So no matter what we always end up on the ground at some point only wanting more. This leaves us feeling so upset and unsatisfied. Then we start thinking that the chair on the other side is looking very appealing so we make the trek over to try out life on the other side of the teeter-totter. But no matter how hard we try we still end up staring at the sky wondering how we are ever going to stay off the ground. I have an idea. Go to the center of the teeter-totter and put one foot on one side and one foot on the other. You will see both sides above ground at once. This is called balance.
