Many end up lonely in their success. The ancient Hebrews and Greeks stressed the concept of balance. For them it was passion and reason, body and mind, but for Freud the key balance, above and beyond these categories, are Love and Work. In this respect, Love means warm, involved and committed family relationships. Work means devotion to a career and a motivation to be the most or the best, or at least successful in the eyes of society.
Many successful people choose career success at the expense of their personal, family lives.
The choices we make always exclude something else. We cannot have our cake and eat it too. So when we choose what is important in Love or Work, we must think what will be the longterm consequences of our choice. The underlying conflict and resolution is at the heart of the film, and it is played out in a baseball arena. After the stadium is the airport.
