You might enjoy the book 'Tao of Physics' if you haven't read it.

To me there is no doubt that there is a balance in the Universe.
Which side of the pendulum are we on? I do not know for sure.
Which side is it swinging to? I don't know in certain.

I perceive that the world can use all the love, caring and compassion I can muster. And I pray I find a skillful way to help others and myself.

Who started the swinging?

To me it doesn't exactly matter. We've been pierced by an arrow, we are already on the field of life, and if we wait around to find out who shot it before we removed it we may die never having lived.

I hope that I am not so wounded that I mistaken what I consider best intentions, causing more harming than good.

In the words of His Holiness The Dalai Lama "If one can not help, at least try not to harm." That is a worded statement that I consider in my balancing act called living.
