That's what I keep wondering - what real impact does a middle path have on the world? does it just postpone the inevitable? does it soothe over the pains of the extreme for a few? Does the middle path actually lead to more optimal solutions in life? does it strengthen or weaken existing orders? And what is really the middle path?
I posit there is no true middle path in reality- because in amiddle path you are just trying to please everybody. You are either center right or center left or generally center off center. But the middle path can be a tactical position - never a strategic one- The strategic position is either offcenter or the extremes. To be in the center means you are likley to be pulled the strongest current eventually and then drowning - unless you have great fortitude and endurance. Stable middle paths exist only in theory. And maybe that's why we keep trying to aim for it.
