Quantum Life : A Little Good & A Little Bad
Too much good can tip the scales — a little bad keeps the balance.

Have you ever just stopped and thought… how does it work?
Like, back in the olden days, scientists used to talk about Infinity & GOD particle stuff —something like “Generation, Operation, Destruction”. But now we hear stuff like energy never really disappears — it just changes its form. That’s wild when you think about it.
Then there's science — especially Quantum Physics. I read about this experiment where tiny things, like electrons, can act like both a wave and a particle depending on how you look at them. It made me surprise — are we kind of like that too? Are we ever really just one thing? Or do we change depending on the moment, the situation, who’s watching us?
Life feels like it’s always balancing itself somehow. Not everything is perfect, not everything is bad — most things are somewhere in between. Like, sometimes I feel like sugar daddy and giveaway money to beggars like anything. But sometimes (when karma hits back), I feel so much burden to spend $10 to a burger on uber eats and complaint back for no reason to claim my money back (cheating is good). We’re all pulled in different directions, right?
There’s that book,"The Secret" , that says if you just want something hard enough, the universe will bring it to you. Sounds silly, but I swear it’s happened to me. One day I thought, “I wish I had a new bag,” and later that week, my coworkers surprised me with one. Was it magic? Coincidence? Maybe something in between.
So here’s a question: Is it okay to do a little wrong if no one gets hurt?
Like, returning an old shirt in exchange to new ones on online store and pretending it was broken just to save a few bucks? Maybe. But would I do that to a small shop? No way. They don’t have the cushion. And honestly, I’ve noticed that when you take shortcuts, even small ones, they tend to come back — like mysteriously high delivery fees or bad Wi-Fi when you need it most.
Even in my design work, I find myself looking at other people’s stuff for inspiration. But I never copy. I just grab the idea and twist it into creating new. Kind of like that wave-particle thing again — same source, different form.
Being human is weird. We’re capable of kindness, but also selfishness. Love and jealousy. Hope and doubt. Maybe that’s just how it is. We’re all walking around trying to balance those parts inside us.
And sometimes I wonder — if everything in the universe is connected, if every action ripples out somehow — then maybe we’re all just tiny particles, bouncing around, trying to find our own strange way to keep things in balance.
Good and bad. Wave and particle.
That’s being human, I guess.
