And looking up to a hero or admire a person is, of course, a matter of the heart and only later one we can try to explain by mind. Probably, that is the reason for my poor expression-power in this. So, it is not that we adimre balance only from within. On the contrary: we admire people that can handle the storm within ourself ánd the storm around us. We admire people that keep their focus and their human thinking on difficult circumstances; and difficult circumstances are matters of our own thinking and handling, mostly combined with difficult cirmcustances in the environment. Do we not all admire the mother, who protects her child, even with danger for her own life, but does this in a silent and almost 'normal and natural' way? We admire because we know she is doing this conscient and awake and knowing all consequences. Do we not admire the man, who expresses his opinion against all others but does this in a argumented and respectfull way without hurting others but also without loosing ground? But again, words are words and not feelings ... :) It is difficult to express what you feel.

Not over-aggressively, pushing yourself out there or shrinking from what needs to be said and done?

Not over-aggressively, pushing yourself out there or shrinking from what needs to be said and done?

I have strong feelings and admiration for people who handle fair and balanced. 'Fair' is maybe a weak word, but for me it means that you are capable on an 'enlightened way' to handle, advise, talk together and with others. Fair means that you are able to consider your smallest handling or activity on rightness to others. Fair means that you are able to weigh all your words, even the 'small ones', in order to tell always the truth. But also in that way that words are no swords. Fair means that in all you do and think are capable to understand that you are one out of many. And of course, I have admiration for this as I am far away of this level.

This isn't the kind of honesty that is the opposite of lying but more of an ability to be straight and forthright in the moment (mostly), but also to quit being politically or spiritually correct, to quit having that certain kind of worry that is about people's feelings -- not wanting to be mean or even blunt, but just plain truthful. I feel that I'm an honest writer in the main, but I continue to experience a struggle to speak as frankly as I'd like...and of course, that leads to other problems. I'm glad to have discovered this. Thanks. I don't know if I can answer your newest questions but what I came to about those whom I admire did make me realize that the similar quality in all was honesty.
