About the theory that the truth (or the norm - in the context of the site) is somewhere between the extremes point, there are a lot of dispute. The main arguments of the defenders and attackers of this theory is an example of refuting or confirming the theory. Such difference in the results related to the following definitions:
- It is difficult to determine the extreme positions of an issue to identify points between them;
- It is difficult to define the boundaries of this very golden middle, because even if the extreme positions of the question are accepted, set the same framework for all is incorrect. This is a complex, difficult question of individuality and tolerance. Here we are trying to solve it.
Norma is also understood as a balance not only between the extreme positions, but also a balance of approaches to achieve the purpose already established. In other words, the stress approach is good only as a last hope. Hit the non-working mechanism with full force, you are hardly solving the problem, although there were precedents.
A lot of advisory information is headlines the following worlds: "lack of … leads to ...", but often occurs as follows: "an overabundance of … harm to your ...", and too much can be as vitamins and other healthy nutrients.
Those or other recommendations are presented in the natural statistical numeric, but we are all different. Therefore, it is necessary to mention for the individual standards. Trying to characterize the extreme (acceptable in a civilized society) limit of the life vector, described in the article about laziness. The other extreme is described in annoying corporate admonishes, "Tips from the powers that be," etc., which are created in order to make it easier to manage a person.
Examples of extreme positions:
Sedentary life | Professional Sports |
Anorexia | Professional bodybuilding |
Internet Addiction Disorder |
Completely abandon the Internet, including in educational purposes |
It means that there are differences between a healthy lifestyle, not a healthy lifestyle and a normal lifestyle. Also, in achievement to a norm, you can “reheated” and hurt yourself, especially in the diet*. Therefore, a normal lifestyle is not the way to look for evidence of your opinion (or someone else's opinion) on the Internet or in books, but thinking your own head and listen to your body. Yes, we have all finished the same way in the ground and no one has repealed accidents, but improve the quality of life is worth it definitely. And here are offered the most simple and easy variants.
For example, a fable:
Emperor of China was sitting on the dais under a canopy and reading a book.
Downstairs the master of wheels fix his carriage. The emperor put down the book and began to observe the actions of the old masters, and then asked him:
- You are so old but performing by yourself? You really do not have an assistant?
The Master answer:
- You are right. I taught my sons for the craft, but my proficiency is impossibility to give. Here is the responsible job, requires a special proficiency.
The emperor said:
- You are talking in riddles! Explain simpler.
Old Master said:
- Can I ask you, what are you reading? Still the man who wrote this book is alive?
The Emperor began to get angry. The old man, espy it and said:
- Do not be angry, please, I try to explain the idea. My sons make good wheels, but they have not reached perfection in this activity. I reached it, but how can I give them my experience? Truth is in the middle ... If I make a strong wheel, it will be heavy and ugly. If I try to make it elegant, it will be unreliable. Where is the line that measure, which I follow? It is inside of me, I grasped it, but the craft is inexpressible. In your carriage wheels must be graceful and strong at the same time. That’s why I am so old but performing by myself. So as a parable that you read now. The man who wrote it many times ago reached a high understanding, but it is no way to convey this understanding.
Truth is in the middle and often without tombstones. (Stanislav Jerzy Lec)
