Balanced Life

I don’t want to live the life of a monk
I don’t want to live detached from the worldly pleasures
I don’t want to live detached from feelings like happiness and sadness
I don’t want to reach to the level where I have no desires

But then

I don’t want to be part of a world where everything is materialistic
I don’t want to be part of a world where people exchange hatred
I don’t want to be part of the world where what matters is money
I don’t want to be part of world where human emotions mean nothing
I don’t want to a level where I grow economically and deteriorate personally

Easy is to detach
Difficult is to fight back
Easy is to escape
Difficult is to stay back

The title is perfect "Balanced Life"
Yes but the approach a bit below par than what Bhagvad Gita says.

It says shloka ch 2.59
"Visaya vinivartante
niraharasya dehinah
rasa-varjam raso'py asya
param drstva nivartate"

Translation and Purport by H.D.Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Translation
The embodied soulmaybe restricted from sense enjoyment, though the taste for sense enjoyment remains.
But ceasing such engagements by experiencing a higher taste , he is fixed in consciousness.

Pupport
Unless one is transcedentally situated ,it is not possible to cease from sense enjoyment. The process of restriction from sense enjoyment by rules and regulations is something like restricting a diseased person from eating certain types of eatables. The patient, however, neither likes such restrictions nor loses his taste for eatables. Similalrly,snese restriction by some spiritual process like astanga yoga, in the matter of yama,niyama,asana,pranayama,pratyahara,dharana,dhyana, etc is recommended for less intelligent persons who have no better knowledge.But one who has tasted the beauty of the Supreme Lord Krishna, in the course of his advance,ment in Krishna consciousness, no longer has taste for dead material things. Therefore, restrictions are there for the less intelligent neophytes in the spiritual advancement of life, but such restrictions are only good if one actually has a taste for Krishna consciousness. When one is actually Krishna conscious, he automatically loses his taste for pale things
