Balancing Quality: Lighthearted

Observations:
• Combining qualities will attenuate each one in some way but also, and usually, strengthens each in surprising ways.
• The saying goes, “You cannot fit a square peg in a round hole.” This is true if you must have a perfect fit. Nonetheless, we are mentally and experientially all different sizes and shapes–and we all fit into the larger rounded “whole.”
