not to fall into the ditches of extremes

look at things subjectively, but at the same time they try not to offend anybody. That's why they seek for the golden mean, that a woman may fat and wolves are well fed.

Maybe the middle is not so golden mean. We are afraid of extremes, we are afraid that the two extremes from which one can choose are too close to the pre-condition of endurance.

The golden mean is harmony, harmony is the meaning of life

Man is a herd animal and like any herd animal feels at ease in the center of the herd. Hence the desire for the golden mean. It naturally exists. The only good news is that if there is a middle ground, there will always be people who do not want to live in perpetual fear and are ready to challenge danger. And what's depressing is that by the time there are such people, the weakest are on the edge, who simply don't have the strength to stay in the middle.

If there is a golden ratio, there is a golden mean. It is a compromise between + and.

And the wolves are sated and the sheep intact - this is the principle of the golden mean. Satisfied yourself, happy people around you. There is nothing to talk about.

The golden mean is the zero potential of chaos, from which everything develops and goes, it is the natural nature of things. trees and grass grow in the golden mean - it is the natural coefficient of development, and man, he also came out of nature, so we are drawn to the golden mean consciously or unconsciously.

The search for a neutral variant of events, i.e. the golden mean, is nothing else but fear of initiative, fear of being a black sheep in society, the attempt to please everybody at once with the least damage for one's own reputation. Not for me. I prefer to make decisions that are consistent with my understanding of life, without regard to the opinion of the majority.

It's like a philosopher's stone. It doesn't exist, but you have to believe in it.

The golden mean - aka moderation knowledge of the measure of any act 1. If you know the measure, it is possible to act with the greatest effect, without losing time and effort and without having unnecessary troubles. Really - few will refuse such a thing, that is why they are looking for this very middle ground. 2. The existence of the golden mean depends only on the individual.
