Against the Grain

A delicate balance to maintain He carves out his position against the grain Spurning extremes, clinging to the center Scorned by all, ridiculed forever

I don't think going against the grain has to mean bad? I have gone against the grain in many ways in life. In fact, it is much easier these days. All in perspective and actions though. Thought provoking. Good one Gershon. :)

Such is the fate of the bully, gw. Sad, but true.
