Dear Student
Upsetting the balance may be a relevant option, but you have to understand one thing here. It's is not necessarily imparting the negative sound. Like for example
You have a good job and a good life and suddenly you got a call from Apple for the position of board of directors. I mean that position is so covetable that it will disrupt or "upset" the balance of your entire previous life but in a good way.
Thus, Upsetting the balance may not necessarily be a bad thing. It may imply a change for good.
Thus creating difficulties is a clear and Crisp answer.
Keep looking out for new possibilities and dimensions to learn and perceive everything!
