In a way it’s all about balance, isn’t it? Balanced diets, balanced opinions, balanced outcomes, we usually give more credit and credence to the temperate zones of our existence. As if we feared to either get frostbite or sunburn if we venture too far.
Maybe it’s the illusion of a safe zone to amble around in. After all, as long as one takes in a bit of everything, you can’t go completely wrong. Of course, as the reverse conclusion would tell you, one will also never be in that case completely right.
But then, what is right and what is wrong often is just a matter of opinion. Generally, truth seems to be hard to come by and even if at hand, it is rarely much appreciated.
Playing it safe in the grey zone may have in fact proven to be of some evolutionary advantage in the long haul. Showing your colors is only for the brave of heart...or slow learners.
