The Darkness of the Balance

It is the belief of some that the Universe requires a balance between Dark and Light in order to function. You can't know good without evil, etc. Well, that may be true, but it kind of sucks for people that have to live on the wrong side of that equilibrium. Someone has to lose, I guess, in order for anyone to win, but how is it fair to the ones that play that losing role all the time? I know, I know, life isn't fair. I do tend to hope that somewhere, somehow, it balances out on a personal level, not just a cosmic one. It's nice to think that in the long term, everyone who suffers and is beaten down will end up on top in their turn. Somehow, I kind of doubt it, but it's a nice thought. Have to keep plodding after that carrot, after all. Otherwise, what's the point?
