On the fence

 

Appreciating when to get involved, take a position, as opposed to remaining on the fence is an art in a certain sense. In a similar fashion, understanding the value of staying on the fence can be something worthy of acknowledgement, especially if weighed against the problems caused by ‘jumping in too soon’.

From our location on the fence we are able to see, figuratively and possibly also literally, both sides of an issue. This all-encompassing vision offers us the chance to evaluate the question, besides how best for us to intervene should that itself be wise or beneficial to ourselves and to others.

The length of our stay on the fence might depend on us. In such instances there are few excuses for not remaining on the fence or getting off it in accordance with the optimum scenario. However, not always is this power ours to exercise.

Making the most of our time on the fence, in any case, goes a long way to maximizing our time there. The alternative could be to complain, but to what extent would this render our presence on the fence any better?

Kindest regards.

Brian.
