Finally it became clear to me why I love living in Europe > in Germany > in Wiesloch > being employed here etc.
This to me is as balanced as life can be.
I am employed with a decent salary. I live in a village, surrounded by wineyards, yet have the infrastructure of no power cuts, uninterrupted water supply, fast WLAN....connectivity with trains and my own car. I can walk down the steets of this little town and say 'hello' to familiar people I bump into often. I can wave at the farmer on his tractor, pluck grapes off its plants and yet be in a some of the biggest, most dynamic cities of europe within a couple of hours.
I can visit, see all the places I've studied about, recall all those poetries, books, paintings, musical legends - art and history. I can walk on grounds that date back to...civilizations, yet be part of modern evolutionary processes.
I can fall for the consumerism yet be aware that nobody in need for support, like medical aid will die just because he or she could not afford it. I'm contributing to the basic social welfare of the society too.
I can be away from my friends and family back home, yet be with them in just 8hrs - one flight. (Less than the time it takes me to travel within some parts of my country).
I can have close relationships with peole, yet have the possibility to draw the line of privacy without having to wage wars.
I am located centrally in the planet. Nothing seems too far.
I can be working on some very challenging projects, yet do so at a pace that doesn't drive me crazy. I can my vacations to rejuvenate myself only to work better.
Striking a balance in life is a goal for me. It drives my personality. This balance is good for me.
For my composition.
Appreciate it as long as it lasts. I will consider myself fortunate.
