“Death is what makes life possible. It's the balance, Meridian. There always has to be balance.”

“Life is a constant balancing act, and keeping your balance is not always possible. The better you prepare yourself, the better your chances of regaining your balance when you lose it.”

“Our essence is change. We are movement. Being out of balance is life. Perfect balance. Stasis. That is death. Life yearns for perfection. Death is perfection.”

“The balanced rocks that sit on the inuksuk...represent the balance we strive to find in our lives. Life is fragile, just like the balanced rocks, but they help us remember that anything is possible.”

“Life is like a balance scale. If it's always equalized why would we have it.”

IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT CONTROL, War agreed merrily. [as in the meaning of why wars happen]”
