Buddhism, Tantra, Taoism, Kaballah in agreement about the "middle path"?

According to my understanding, a Middle Path is advocated in Buddhism because it is practically impossible to live by going to extremes. For example if we do not walk on the floor to prevent small animals dying we cannot do so. That does not mean to kill those animals even for food has to be allowed. Those are 2 extremes. One has to do things that are relevant to his aim. About other belief systems I do not know.
