Good habits and Balance

Of course the answer to the question at the end of my previous post is "no". Over-analyzing day-to-day decisions is stressful. Instead of trying to calculate the effects of each of our actions, we should look at the bigger picture. Good habits and balance are the keys to increasing joy and minimizing suffering.

It's not hard to list many things that are out of balance. The number of humans on Earth. Energy use per capita in the U.S. The lust for wealth. The decline of habitat for many species. The amount of carbon in the atmosphere.

Our choices, big and small, will be better if we take balance into consideration.
