~:[CH15 - Day 47]:~ Counterbalance
Some people don't like uni (sea urchin). Crazy, right? Just kidding. Sometimes it's the fishnets, which probably means the one they had wasn't fresh and sometimes it's the texture, just like natto, okra, or mountain yam. It's understandable that we all have our different preferences, but maybe, even if they didn't like the texture of uni, they would enjoy this onigiri (rice ball). I met with my Japanese tutor who happen to be visiting his family in Japan. It was great to speak some English, although I tried to use Japanese. The crispness of the rice paired well with the universe and provided a counterbalance that might make those who don't like it for the texture, believers. It definitely parallels life as sometimes when we go into something, we don't like it for some reason, however, sometimes, just an addition of something to counterbalance it, might just make it bearable, if not enjoyable. Don't just dismiss things in life because you don't like it or you struggle with it, rather, see what you can do to provide a counterbalance. Life is not as straight forward as a line from A to B, thus we can't expect that all our solutions will be so simple. Even when it looks complicated, look around you and figure out how to approach it to provide to counterbalance to something you thought you might not be able to bear.
