Sometimes, life takes on an intriguing twist. You’ve got this set of problems, and so set about solving them. But the more you solve, the more you come up against new sets of problems. It’s like an inflated balloon: push in one side, and another part bulges out. So you push in the new bulge, and hope that no other bulge occurs. Ultimately, you resolve to push from all sides, making sure that there’s simply no chance of a nasty bulge anywhere. In real life, however, it’s usually hard to account for all potential problems, and boy, don’t problems breed!
As the New Year rolls in, it might be prudent to start with a set of down-to-earth, attainable goals. The hope, of course, is that these goals don’t carry unwanted baggage. But this is just a hope. The reality is time bound, and unrolls at time’s own pace. So should we sit around and hope for the best? Experience says nay. Wait for fate to smile on your complacent self, and things will spiral out of control. Even though the very act of keeping things in control sometimes breeds other problems, the effort to keep things in check has to be maintained.
Such is life. Cyclical. Balloony.

I conccur with you on this balloon issue.
I think it boils down to the laws of dynamics or something close to that which talk of matter not created nor destroyed.
