Orhan Pamuk-Snow

"Rising up inside him was that sensation he had always felt as a child and as a young man at moments of extraordinary happiness:the prospect of future misery and hopelessness.In a panic,he tried to bring this happy moment to a close.This , he hoped,would lessen the impact of the unhappiness he knew would follow."-Orhan Pamuk in Snow
These few sentences may not make sense to most of you,but for me ,it is as obvious as drops of blood on pristine snow.
I've always believed that,god created earth with a sense of balance.All contradictions have to be moderated.I like economics a lot,In the short run,there are imbalances and disequilibrium ,but in the long run,any function reaches equilibrium and all imbalances get evened out.Happiness and misery are no different.At the end of your life,you would have laughed as much as you have cried.Misery is over-rated and it may seem that you have cried more than you have had the good times.At the end of the day our balance sheets have to be tallied. L.H.S has to be equal to R.H.S. for any equation to be true.Contradictions form an equality and equalities form contradictions.

some equations may be wrong.
and for reaching equillibrium, some things take infinite time. So, from a time-span view of human life - those things are not in equilibrium (may be in quasi-steady state though)
