Moderate

Being a Moderate in this world is probably the best approach to everything. For example, people do not like too cold or too hot places, similarly they also despise the extremeties in food (ofcourse, the range here is a bit larger, hot beverages and ice-creams forming the extremeties but here too no one likes a very hot coffee or a chilling ice cream). The same holds good for a person's characteristics.
A person with the character of the worst kind is usually scorned at and despised, while with a saintly person the people around though have great regard do not mingle well. This holds good not only for friendship but also for something beyond this.
This is true in almost every single thing from discipline to freedom (a balance of both), from extremist religious fanaticism to one religion (freedom to follow any religion without tabs), from democracy to dictatorship (benevolant dictator), from monarchy to anarchy (monarch of the people), breaking rules to strictly following them, fun to work and so on.
My feeling is that if you are not a Moderate then you will find yourself an outcast everywhere.
