My source for this is macrobiotics but I'm sure it is an Eastern
philosophical principle: All things balance themselves out. If one person is
eating a lot yin, they balance with a lot of yang. If you don't eat the
yang, the yin doesn't feel right.

Applied to community processes, the explanation will probably come out as:

That one has a lot of children; this one has lots of dogs.
That one has a strong leader; this one has a strong group but no leader.
That one has meals every night; this one has two a week.
That common house is noisy; this one is quiet.
