Without Middle Ground

So many are without a middle ground and seem to settle for the least acceptable side, unable or perhaps unwilling to seek or accept as an entitlement the more favorable aspect.  This binary way of life, the forcing of a choice between extremes, allows no moderation, no growth or progress.  The highs are too high and the lows, where most seem to settle, are far too low.  There is no way to merit the one extreme and no way to overcome the other.  Without a middle, the payments on life become terribly expensive.
