I think what is missing a heck of a lot in society and in our morals, wants and dreams is Balance. I see very little balance in society today, it is all about extremes or extremism. Far left, far right, anti this pro that. Do this, do that mentality of people. Almost everything taken to excess, in my own opinion, ends in failure.
I agree. It is all on and off, no nuance. even failure is an end, not part of the process to success.
