Moderation, not excess Anything in excess is not good, even though you might like the taste or touch or feel of something. If you like gold, its not a wise idea to paint the whole room gold, because it makes everything so golden and uh, oppressive. If you like laksa, it is very detrimental to your health if you gulp down 20 bowls at one go, and maybe clog up some arteries. If you like silk, you could buy a lot of silk, but you cannot possibly make every piece of clothing using just silk. This means you have to dry clean every piece of silk clothing, and that's gonna cost you a bomb! So, we should take everything in MODERATION. Just like there is a limit to everyone's patience. We all have a limit that we know we should not try to venture beyond. We could try, thinking that well, we all need to challenge ourselves a little bit right? But the flip side is we could die while trying it, or get seriously hurt. So why take such a big risk when you already know the consequences? Be an adult, be rational, otherwise it is just tough for everyone. We all have a role to play in life, so take on whatever role you have to play at this point in time, and stick with it. Wait till better roles come along. And of course, don't tell lies too often. Mean what you say, and DO WHAT YOU SAY. Ever heard of the story of the boy who cried wolf? If you haven't, telling lies was what the boy did and in the end, when he really needed help, no one bothered because he was DISHONEST. VOILA! His herd of sheep got gobbled up by wolves. Anyway, treat people the way you want them to treat you, but do it in moderation and rationality. Be sensitive and always make sure feelings are balanced. Relationships may be super volatile, but hey, it's just how you manage it. Change a perspective and well, things would be easy peasy. Got that? |
