To over come any desire is not in balance unless such a desire breaks the freewill of another entity.
To indulge in desire is not in balance.
Therefore any desire that is acted out with respect of freewill without indulging to much or losing mindfulness/awareness is then in balance.
This creates an interesting concept. The idea that i can for drink beer at the weekend but not drink enough to lose mindfulness and do things which may risk breaking the freewills of others nor to deprive myself of the experience of drinking alcohol.
The concept can apply to the eating of meats? If all things are truly alive then even the fruits, grains, vegetables are part of the living creator. To eat anything can then be seen as some what breaking the freewill of whatever it may be. Is it justifiable to not eat meats because animals are higher second density?
Where does this line of thinking end? Is it okay to take hard drugs in a balanced way? Does drinking the alcohol buy into a negative company?
What seems to be fairly simply can ultimately be complex.
I have a feeling that it will not be possible to answer this question fully but hearing the views of others on it may be useful.
