From the mind of critic: “If one of the secrets to life is balance and moderation, how come so many of our actions seek to unbalance and unmoderate? Are we scared of giving up instant gratification and short term happiness, because our low self-esteem won’t allow us the courage, stamina and determination required to acheive seemingly insurmountable goals? Are we lazy from everything being handed to us, that we believe out thoughts and actions are only unbalanced, because everybody elses are unbalanced? The best and brightest path toward authentic peace of mind, is the realization that life is never perfect, and won’t always work out as planned or designed. Over-indulgence happens when we hang onto happy moments to long, hard and tight because we think they won’t happen again. How we finally found something or somebody that makes us happy, so we hit the repeat button over and over and over again. Once we realize how not to death grip happiness, but simply recognize it when it happens, we’ll see all the beauty of the world continously flow through us, because we recognize happiness is stagnating, and joy is fluid. Balance and moderation are acheived when we realize we can’t control everything that happens, but can control our reactions to them. The world can be as dark and/or light as we choose.” 🙂
