I have been debating with myself whether I should comment about Robin Williams passing and I finally decided to make a few observations. The issue of balancing Yin and Yang in our bodies and in our lives is not well known and yet it affects us every moment of our lives. Ideally we are born balanced, fed and maintained in a balanced way throughout our lives and we live a joy filled and productive life.
Unfortunately, in our ignorance, more often we are born imbalanced, raised by ignorant parents, just trying to get along, without instructions. We often never find balance in our lives and we pay a tremendous price for it. Robin Williams was a victim of this ignorance from day one. We feel the cost today of losing him too soon. If I could adopt this beautiful man as the poster child for balance, I would, knowing that we might be able to save a few others that are struggling on the edge of death.
The mobility of humans across the planet in the last 200 years has led to the uprooting of so many cultures and the transplanting of so many. This has obliterated the cultural knowledge that was the root of balance in so many societies. Traditional ways vanished along with the understanding of their purpose and long term value replaced by an opportunistic consumerism that exploits us at every turn.
I am hopeful though that we will be able to increase our awareness and take a stand for balance not only in our bodies but in the world. It would be so much nicer if Robin were here to make it funny.
