Throughout Eastern philosophies, there is an idea that we should remain in thecentre, for this is where the optimal being resides. Those in the centre are neither too ordered, not too chaotic. They are neither too masculine, not too feminine. They are neither too happy, nor too sad. They just are. Of course you cannot stay in the centre for long as the world, according to Buddhism, is ever-changing. Just as the Taoist symbol of the Yin Yang represents, we must walk the thin line between opposites such as chaos and order, pain and pleasure and happiness and sadness.
