The correct WAY?

I realised one thing recently. There are so many things that could happen in this world. There are so many challenges we are going to face everyday. Different people may overcome the problems in different wat and that leads to different outcome. If you are too extreme, maybe you get something very very bad back on you and vice versa. I think, in order to bring the critical situation up to one balance point, we must adopt the concept of 'Moderate'. This is not a new concept and it has been used since very very long time ago. In Confucianism, 'moderate' is always mentioned and you can see the role it plays is very significant. How does moderate solve problem? In this case i am going to use some examples because using example is the best way to visualise a concept. One of the major thinking in Chinese culture is 'Yin' and 'Yang', which specifies the important of balance. Nothing can go over the limit or else it brings disaster. For e.g, whenever there is a good there's always a bad, high & low, pretty & ugly. Do you notice that our world is formed by these elements? The concept of 'moderate' is to get ourselves to be positioned in the most 'balance' point. In case we have conflicts with somebody we know,we could use a lot of methods to deal with the problems. Perhaps we shout at him and end up fighting with blood dripping, perhaps we tolerate him and we high the feeling inside which will gradually spoil our soul. If we try to use the 'moderate' way, we could solve the problem by not hurting both parties's feeling. Ok, that's it for now, i will continue next time to talk about more.
