Balance in history

Some individuals, who have really worked hard at it, find balance in their lifetime. Lifetimes are self-contained and subjected to relatively static identity that flows from an individual Will. One person can build up to a specific goal before death, and that goal is subjected to a Will that may fluctuate, but within a range and non-randomly.

As a society, for the masses, however, there is only a very volatile general consensus that does fluctuate based on individual preferences that are mashed together and averaged. Because of this, history swings back and forth between extremes.
