Everything exists on a spectrum, each side a pole, two sides of the same pentacle. Natural order seeks homeostasis. This is how a spectrum exists, as each point on it represents an amount of one extreme that proportionates the other. 

When we look at our place on the spectrum of a human quality, we can see where we are overcompensating. If, for example, we are suppressing our selfishness, we will find we show up always putting everyone else’s needs first. The key is to realize the scale and find the center point between each end. 

If our human nature corrects imbalances unconsciously, then we must become aware and remedy them consciously. We cannot escape the pendulum. But we can choose to be at any point on it. We can choose to be an extreme, like the echo or the narcissist. Or, we can sit in equilibrium, where we take care of ourselves and others, where we allow harmony between each pole. 

There will always be waves. We will rarely be perfectly centered. But, we can have the awareness at which side we are leaning towards, accept it, and then decide how we want to proceed. We get to make healthy choices with our oscillations that move us towards more universal love.
