Out of Balance

 

It doesn’t take a great deal for things to get out of balance.  Depending upon what it is determines the impact that imbalance will have.  If it is a tire on your car then it can create a wobble.  Left unchecked, that wobble will eventually affect something else, perhaps more serious than just a wobble as you’re going down the road.

On a much larger scale, each time man has set off a nuclear explosion, unbeknownst to him, the axis of the Earth moves slightly, the rotation is altered, albeit a minor amount, but these changes send ripples into the universe.  These ripples, or disruptive waves, cause minor changes to the moon and other celestial systems.  As there is little to no atmosphere in space, like sound these waves do not dissipate.

Life, as we know it, exists because of a balance in nature.  We have the systems required to keep us going, temperature, water, oxygen, food, it all works together.  Alter any one of those and the balance falters.  Plants and animals cease to exist.  Both scientist and auto mechanic know that a small crack in the windshield, left unchecked, will spread.  So it is with things out of balance.  We cannot control the ripples that hit us from space, but we can pay attention to our own consequences, and we should.  To neglect it is to allow the wobble to grow until it is no longer  a wobble, but a collapse.
