 A Page on Balancing Forces

Internet describes balancing forces as those forces that are opposite in direction and equal in size. Balancing forces are considered to be in a state of equilibrium and when forces are balanced there is no change in direction.

For any system to be balanced and stable there has to be balancing forces acting in the system.

History has lots to teach. It is full of time synthesized events. All events took either the path of progress or the path of setback.  One real thing is that the present, this very present is the result of all the events that happened in the past. If the sum of progress be greater than the setback then the present is in the path of progress. If the sum of setback is more than the sum of progress, then the present is in the path of setback.

Any system as per physics need to be stable and balanced and if not, it will be unstable and may even lead to a chaotic state. It is also true that if any system has to be balanced then these must be balancing forces in action in the system.

Five kinds of major events in history cause change. Out of the five kinds of major events three are manmade and two are workings by nature. Human based three kinds of events that cause change are war, disease and revolution. Two events within the power of nature are geographic and climatic.

Revolution in land management brought in farms and agriculture. This movement freed humans from the food chain designed by nature. Industrial revolution set in a new order in world economy. The current digital revolution is yet to announce its fruit of success of bitterness.

Besides revolution, frequent wars and many outbreak of diseases has altered the balance of the global system. Even to this very present time humans have been in war and are suffering outbreak of disease.

If wars and outbreak of diseases are balancing forces to maintain stability in the global system, then against which forces are they acting to establish balance. If wars and the outbreak of diseases are not balancing forces but forces set to destabilize the global system, then what will be the balancing forces to oppose these destabilizing forces to establish balance and when will it act?

When balancing forces are not happening within a set time frame then the system will move into an unstable state. More the delay of the balancing forces to enact more will be the damages to the global systems. Balancing forces prevent chaos. 

Chaos if the final destination of a destabilized system. Chaos is not a force but a state of disoriented energies. Force has the power to streamline and orient energies in a desired manner to either set in chaos or offset chaos in a system. When a force is defined in a system a balancing force is also defined in the same system.
