The middle is way between extremes

Sorry for the noobie lay questions. Does the Buddha say that we can enjoy something for two different mutually exclusive reasons. E.g. enjoying reading a book because it is innately pleasurable and because it is an extrinsic good in teaching me something. It seems to me that there is no way to do so, that we cannot resolve opposites into one reason or meaning for being. That whatever you think of dialectics, nothing can be synthesized with an absolute opposite. I think then that any reason or meaning is had to the exclusion of something else, and there is a fundamental deficiency in thought, such that any meaning is absolute i.e. a lie, or contradicted.
