RE: meeting in the middle
I don't know if you believe in Christ as the mediator between God and man, but I find it takes divine forgiveness for divided parties to reconcile and to meet in the middle in order to resolve conflict.
I think the healing and reconciliation process is the most beautiful thing to behold.
One marriage counselor described making peace as
"meeting in the middle of what both people already think is the middle" -- in other words, just when both sides think they have conceded and compromised enough comfort, sometimes full resolution takes it one step further where they both have to give a little more, with the understanding that the other party is stretching just as much. Again, it takes that mutual forgiveness to make that possible.

That resilience and willingness to give in order to survive is a beautiful divine aspect of the love inherent in human nature.
To me, the meaning of Christ rejoining God and man is the same spirit of true charity that allows people to meet in the middle. Collectively when we make peace and reach agreement in our relationships locally on earth, the same is done globally in heaven. See also Matthew 18:15-20 about restoring relations with a neighbor after a transgression and establishing truth.

Zero is in the middle of the number line, with all negative numbers on one side, and all positive numbers on the other. Zero is not just nothing, it is also the addition of all numbers on both sides of the number line, therefore it is everything.
The above expresses the viability of an "ex-nihilo" creation in mathematical terms.

That is a weird question, I can't understand why you have thought about it for many years. I don't think u explained yourself very well.
Sounds like you have a sentimental feeling for something, but I really don't know what it is.
