the pendulum (redux)

this is not the first time i've used the pendulum analogy , but i shall use it again in reply to a friend's blog post.

think of a person's mood as a pendulum.
at one end is extreme happiness, at the other end is extreme sadness.

once you've swung to the extreme happiness zone, it swing back to sadness, and back to happiness.
the larger the swing in one direction, the greater the swing it is to another direction.

that's the principle of the pendulum.

so where has your megahappyhearts gone to? it will be back when your pendulum swings back. no need to look for it. :)

(and that is why i prefer to be at the neutral state)
