Is life meant to be a balance between 'good humour' and 'melancholy', do you think?

I had to look up the word, "melancholy", so now that I know what it means, I would say, yes. We have emotions for a reason, to keep us healthy, both physically and mentally. The one thing that gets you through the sad and hard times, is usually tears and then, some humor. The feeling of melancholy also really helps you enjoy those good times. I've been having to Google the definition of a lot of words people have been throwing around lately. Maybe I'm not as smart as I think I am! 🙁

BALANCE is essential for everything in life

Why do you think the scale of life would only have two sides to balance? Life is not a bicycle ride to balance, for there is life even in the fallen state.

I think life is mostly meant to be boring. We kinda just hang around and wait for something interesting to happen.

Life is about many emotions, those who repress emotions often become frustrated and depressed.

So it stands to reason we need the lows to recognise and enjoy the highs.

All of my joy and happy moments fit into a thimble. My sorrows ans disappointments would overflow a stadium

I think it has to be.
