Which is the right approach in life between being Flexible or Rigid ?

Rigid means standing up for who you are and flexible means allowing others to stand too and it is only when we can be both, can we ever dance, this dance of life!

Rigid.

one day a little boy saw two trees a mighty oak tree and a lowly reed. he said to himself "what a mighty oak tree see how much more strength lies in it and how weak the puny reed is that grows in its shadow." the very same night came a howling, violent wind storm. the following morning he awoke to find the the mighty oak had fallen in its attempt to withstand the weather. als below the fallen oak was to be found the lowly reed which had triumphed in its survival by merely bending over intead of rigid defiance as the oak had tried

I believe in that optimum approach in life is to be in middle. Being highly flexible or highly rigid are both harmfull for you and the society. We must balance our behaivors. This balance is valid for all approaches to life. eating much/less, sleeping much/less, worshipping much/less, being so/less angry....

be flexible. that way if something goes wrong u can cope with it a lot easier.
