Is harmony part of wisdom?

February 2nd I am hard placed to find wisdom in my workplace...I feel like we are at times all lemmings piled in a row, dropping off a cliff, one by one. Communication seems to be key in all patterns of life. How we operate. The choices we make on how to act. To smile and say hi or to look at the floor, sulk, be buried in some past event or perceived turmoil. How we great each day, how we communicate with the world and the people around us. I don't expect a wise person to always be happy, but I do expect to find them with a sort of heart light inside. There are those that have inner peace, and to me that is a sign that balance can be attained as a human being. That is wisdom I seek. Balance is not easily struck when there are demanding children, bills to pay, work duties that seem to never end. Balance can not be struck if our hearts are stuck..in the quagmire of hurt, false love or other imagined pain. I am not saying we need to have lack of feeling but that our hearts must open wider and wider...which may mean we find more pain, see more of the ills we have committed, but from there can there not be self forgiveness? We are human, we are not perfect. We only take steps, one at a time to figure out the next part of our life or path might be. How do we make it a wise one?

I think of the word harmony. Another word for balance. The word suggests that beauty is balance. Harmony is not perfection. But I realize harmony is what I seek. Perfection can be for someone else interested in that. Harmony I think is attainable, perfection a constant slippery slope, always out of reach and quickly disappearing around dark corners. So how do I find Harmony?
