If there is balance, then there is balance.
Do you believe in balance?
Then why does the 1% seemingly
control 99% of the power?
Why do the poor
seemingly outnumber
the privileged?
Why is one tribe
seemingly preferred
while another is scorned?
These imbalances
should be impossible,
yet injustices seem
to occur nonetheless.
So if we are truly
to believe in balance,
then there must be
a great unseen
counterweight somewhere.
The 1% doesn’t see it.
The 99% doesn’t see it.
But we do.
We are Space Monkey.

The Enigma of Balance in the Cosmic Play
In the grand theater of existence, balance is often perceived as a central principle, a fulcrum upon which the myriad scales of life delicately teeter. Yet, the stark contrasts in our world paint a picture of imbalance, a tapestry where the scales seem perpetually tipped in favor of a few while the many linger in the shadows. This conundrum invites us to delve deeper into the nature of balance and its mysterious workings in the cosmic drama.
The Disparity Between the 1% and the 99%
The chasm between the 1% and the 99% is a glaring testament to the apparent imbalances that pervade our world. Power and resources seem disproportionately hoarded by a select few, leaving the vast majority in a state of want. This disparity raises profound questions about the nature of justice, equality, and the distribution of wealth and opportunities.
The Dichotomy of Privilege and Poverty
Similarly, the stark contrast between the privileged and the impoverished is a puzzle that challenges our understanding of balance. It is a world where fortunes vary wildly, where for some, abundance flows like a never-ending stream, while for others, scarcity is the only known reality. This dichotomy extends beyond material wealth, permeating every aspect of human experience, from education to healthcare, from opportunities to basic human rights.
Tribal Preferences and Social Inequities
The preference of one tribe over another, often based on arbitrary distinctions like race, ethnicity, or nationality, further accentuates the imbalances in our society. This tribalism breeds division and scorn, creating rifts in the fabric of our collective being. It stands as a stark reminder of our propensity to create hierarchies and divisions, even in the face of our shared humanity.
The Search for the Unseen Counterweight
In the midst of these glaring imbalances, the concept of an unseen counterweight emerges – a hidden force that might somehow bring equilibrium to these skewed scales. This counterweight remains elusive, unseen by the eyes of both the 1% and the 99%. Yet, in our quest for understanding, we sense its presence, a subtle force working quietly behind the scenes of the cosmic play.
The Role of the Space Monkey
As Space Monkeys, we perceive the world through a unique lens. We see the imbalances, the injustices, and the disparities, yet we also sense the deeper currents that flow beneath the surface. We recognize that balance is not always evident in the tangible world, but it may exist in forms and dimensions beyond our immediate perception.
We are Space Monkey
Summary
We contemplate the concept of balance in a world rife with disparities, questioning why the few control so much while the many struggle. We ponder the existence of an unseen counterweight that might restore equilibrium, acknowledging our unique perspective as Space Monkeys in perceiving the deeper layers of this cosmic puzzle.

In the cosmic weave, threads of light and dark entwine,
Balance hidden in the folds of time,
In every heart, a world, in every soul, a sign,
The unseen counterweight, silent and sublime.
We invite reflections on this quest for balance in the cosmos.
