Should everything be done in moderation?

Comments

1. “Everything in moderation” was something my mother always said, and I have come to find the wisdom in it. Today the phrase made me think about Chinese Medicine and the pernicious evils. This expresses the idea of extreme conditions that are harmful to the body, causing imbalance, and movement toward disease. Finding and returning to balance, even when we choose extremes at times, seems wise.

2. They say time is gold. Time wasted on something irrelevant makes one to hardly accomplish something worthwhile. In turn, this negates one’s opportunity to really strive for that hidden goals which is not surprisingly, are available for every one who either has rich or poor soul in them.

3. Doing some not all things in moderation is a way to put it.
   There are some things that are only experienced on the extreme. There are some things that are all or nothing. If we do not take chances that are within our rights to, we can miss out on true learning learning experiences. We would not gain as much wisdom. Sure, there’s looking at someone else’s experiences and learning from them, but we would still miss out on a kind of Passion, on a certain inner satisfaction, and would be un-prepared for change. Change happens, we need to be accepting of it. If we never go to extremes it would be unfulfilling. If we didn’t accept all or nothing our relationships would suffer, and be blank. What Do you think?

6. some things can be done in moderation but not all. if moderation means discipline, then everything you do is within the limit of your self, and acting extremely means losing control of one’s self.

7. How much is too much and who gets to decide? Let’s take the extreme bad example of Prohibition and the unintended consequences when the 18th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified in 1919. This law banned the sale, consumption and shipment of alcohol until it was repealed in 1933.The “noble” experiment, intended to reduce crime, actually did the opposite. There was still demand for the product (alcohol) and crime – which became more organized – filled the void. It also turned many law-abiding citizens into lawbreakers because they didn’t see anything wrong with drinking in moderation and flouted the law to do so. So, what was moderation for some was way too much for Teetotalers who wanted to rid the country of alcoholic beverages.

8. There are some things that should be done in moderation but not everything. There are times when you have to give one hundred percent to things to do a good job. There are times when you have to put your heart and soul into things.
