Middle of the road

When I was young I thought that everything was black or white, quite simply good or bad. But the responsibilities of leadership taught me that life is not always as simple as that. Sometimes the only choice is between grey and grey and good (and intelligent) people may be on both sides of an issue. Staying in the middle of the road may be all very well but it does mean being liable to getting hit by traffic going both ways! At election time we are subject to a barrage of opinions held, sincerely perhaps, by those on both sides of the political divide. The luxury of not making a decision is not for us. We have to balance considerations and use our best judgement. That's life. God help us!
