Book Cover & Preview Text
Life is the movement of a pendulum on the clock of time.
If the pendulum swings too high one side, it swings as high on the opposite side. This is why those who can be deliriously happy are also those that sink deep into unhappiness.
The balance lies in making the pendulum oscillate evenly, smoothly to both sides. Not too high either way.
This is equanimity.
