Here are a few responses in regards to my triangular theory of life. What's your theory?

Life according to Dave:
"Your three-sided triangle of life theory sounds a lot like my own. I call it the 3-slices-of-pie theory. I figure our entire lives can be divided into 3 equal slices. Since there is 24 hours in a day, we have 8 hours for sleep, 8 hours for work, and then 8 hours for the rest. Of course we end up stealing from the other slices if we want to work overtime or if we want to sleep more or if we actually have some kind of life left over after our daily errands. The little scrap of pie left after all this pie-slicing activity is what we call "spare time." There isn't much there, is there? Hmm."
Life according to Erik:
"By your measurements, I fall in the equilateral triangle category at the moment. Work,
Love, and Home are all balanced to such a degree of precision that it's boring to the
onlooker. Recently married, debt free, promotions at work. I only realized it just now. No
books, paintings, or songs will be heralding the aesthetic nature of this perfect equilateral
triangle, yet, those caught in such a perfect shape rarely miss the difference.
My own triangle theory of life involved the Mind, Body, and Soul triangle. Continued
studies, and other learning avenues, Exercise, and some kind of pursuit of deeper meaning
and the texture of art and beauty and tragicomedy and Nick At Night, etc. In those
regards, I'd say my triangle is doing rather poorly. In almost all categories. Ironically, still
equilateral in a weak, limp, collapse at any moment, sort of way. I'm reading a book, but it's
mostly for entertainment, haven't exercised outside of a few monthly runs, and have only
gone to church once in last 4 or 5 months, much less engaged in any daily attention towards
the spiritual realm."

Life according to Jess:
"Actually, this isn't my theory of life, but as long as you're talking about
mental imagery for these sorts of things i'm curious to know how people
picture calendars and time. i realized awhile ago that the calendar in my
head is a little odd. it is shaped like a circle, and january falls at
about 4 o'clock. it then proceeds counter-clockwise at fairly regular
intervals, except that time seems to bunch in some places. for example june
falls just slightly to the left of Noon, so that the months from january
through june are smooshed together. and then july and august stretch all
the way down the left side of the "clock" until you hit september, at about
7 o'clock. i'm hypothesizing that the spacing has something to do with
summer vacation back in grade school, but as for the strange
"counter-clockwise clock" calendar format, i have no idea."

Life according to Tzaddi:
"A pie similar to yours: One of my teachers taught us her theory about an artist's life. She said our lives are a three piece pie of money, time, and art-making. We generally have to do things other than art-making to get money, which impacts our time to make art, but the money is required to pay for studio and materials and life. The three are always in a delicate balance where if you have too much of one you don't have enough of the others."
