The Middle Way......

'When it's difficult to choose between two things Alike, choose the Middle Way.'

Now this is a very obvious sentence one gets as a piece of advice when there is a Dilemma in a person's life....!!

"Choose the Golden Way....Take the middle path...."

So how does one define a Middle Path??

Is it choosing both the things simultaneously?? Or is it choosing neither of them?
Does it mean that the contest between two things should be ended??

Or it simply means abandon the thought of choosing either of them and go for something which involves neither of such a 'Dilemma'??

A third interpretation that I have often come across is to take the best features from both the things and make something...that suits all your requirements.....!!!


Different situations......different people......different meanings.....

But which is the correct way of explaining "the middle way"??

And is it applicable in all the situations???

It's confusing.....It's so difficult to choose the middle way....!!


I know....people with clear minds may find this very silly.....

But try to be in the shoes of the "confused" and you will realize what it takes to actually find the 'Golden-Middle-Way'.....!!!
