Finding the still point

In studying through Plato, the comparative virtue of the life of pleasure and the life of reason, what begins to show itself is the unsatisfactory nature of two opposites opposing.  It might seem simple to go for one rather than the other but for sure, that means polarity, it means that if you are the aesthete, the danger would be that you became so high minded and disapproving of the pleasure seekers that you would find yourself consumed by criticism in your solitude.  You might not of course but it is a danger!  And if you go for pleasure as the best and highest, you might find that your attitude to the holy and high minded was dismissive.  You would be polarised.  Plato tries to expand our thinking so that we can find the steady point and it turns out that this point, while being within us, is really a universal.  What do I mean by that? Well, like water is everywhere but is contained by the sea or the river or the bottle on your desk, stillness is universal and can be found everywhere if you tune in.
You know that I am going to say that tuning in is meditation don't you!  Well, meditation gives you the chance to tune in, and tuning in in a place which is quiet and where others are tuning in too, does seem a bit easier.
