Balancing the Scales

When physical weight and
gravity are all that matter,
balancing the scales is simple.

When hurt and pain are involved,
balancing the scales is more complicated.

Fairness is about balance.
So is forgiveness.
Bitterness only leads
to more imbalance.

Imbalance has its place,
but it is not sustainable.
It requires too much
power to maintain.

Coming into balance is
like water flowing
to the lowest places.
