I truly believe that man's shortcoming often comes when we egregiously assume positions of binary thinking--that is, the only decisions we are offered are either "0" or "1", "No" or "Yes", "This" or "That."

But life is never like that.

Artistotle speaks of this Golden Mean that man must seek between virtues and vices. You aren't just simply "Brave" or "Cowardly," because between 0 and 1 there lies infinite possibilities and a perfect cross between your virtues and vices.
