Balancing Balance

So many seemingly meaningful issues in life seem to resolve with needing to be viewed with "balance".  Sometimes this is frustrating as such a resolution is so inconclusive.  I feel like this balance is wise, but can often make one feel they are sitting on the sidelines of life while the unbalanced players have something to fight for.  I suppose a good way to think of it is that if every coin has 2 sides, if you can see both sides, you've got the whole coin; that is, until you have REALLY got something worth fighting for, then it's time to cash in.
