Thoughts. Black and White

I was talking some time ago with a guy about balance, balanced people and events.
How do you get to balance? By beautifully combining blacks and whites in order to get the most perfect grey tones (like my background :) ) or by choosing a balanced number of whites and blacks and letting them as they are?
Is more balanced a person who always is able to say: "I strongly agree" or "I strongly disagree", or one who's always in a "Somewhat agree"/"Somewhat disagree" position.
Let me just guess: we're human, we have emotions, we are the slaves of our emotions, so we're always in the "somewhat"'s boat.
I would be very happy to learn that people have strong opinions about everything that really matters. That grey tone is for only when we don't really care.
Black and white is not extremism, is not denial and for sure is not superficiality, but it's damn difficult...
Actually, that's the introduction of my paintings ;)
