Balance of people

Here there were too many people, and so I didn’t want to go in. There I didn’t go in because there were not enough people, and hence no life. There had to be balance. I don’t know how they’re supposed to cater to people like me. Are they supposed to let just enough people for the place not to be dead, and then not let any more in? But then if such a place did have just enough people not to be dead, and I wanted to enter, they wouldn’t let me in, and I would have to wait, but then if someone were to leave, therefore opening space for me to enter, then the place would no longer have enough people not to be dead, and so I’d be back where I started, still not wanting to go in.
