Moderation in all things?

[Steezie]

I was thinking about it today, and it seems that moderation, temperance, is the best way to go about life.

Too much or too little of anything seems to be a bad thing.

What do you think?

I agree. Remember the old saying "less is best".

My Favorite verse in the Bible:

Everything is permissible but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible but I will not be mastered by anything.

What an ABSOLUTELY perfect way to summarize living!

Moderation is good in everything, yes, but ive noticed recently that people are so pathologically interested in sociality (if thats a word) that you kind of have to wonder how we dont realize it.

For example if I were to show as much of an interest in astronomy, for instance, as other people show in TV shows and myspace etc. people would definitely see it as an unhealthy pathological obsession. But they dont seem to realize that they are just as obsessive over a different subject.

Of course their arguement against it would be 'its not healthy, you should show more interest in being social', as if the answer to this obsession is to replace it with theirs.

on the plus side, unlike people who are obsessed with studying a certain subject, or playing video games, etc tend to forget to do all those wonderful little things like showering before going out in public. luckily we dont have to worry about this with everyone else.

I agree that moderation is key but I personally advocate total absentence when it comes to pornography, drugs, drinking, and premartial sex.
