It is definitely easy to let ourselves indulge in too much of a good thing. I really liked all the examples you used of ways people can stay moderate in the things they do, or "in the gray area." The Golden Mean is a very valuable tool in helping us all understand how we can make our relationships better.CGHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03170453417156802318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742606127352029741.post-78857429045772516362008-10-14T19:15:00.000-04:002008-10-14T19:15:00.000-04:00I think that you touch on a very important aspect ...I think that you touch on a very important aspect of the golden mean in regards to moderation and balance in one's life. This is something I think most people <I>know</I> or at least think they know, but actually applying it is another thing. Especially with overconsumption (with work, food, sex, drugs/alcohol), or an addiction that one is not even aware of. Most people who suffer from the diseases you mentioned (workaholism and alcoholism) do not usually recognize they are suffering from a disorder. I think that finding a happy medium is important for everyone to strive for rather than being one extreme or the other. For instance, an extremist example (in eating habits) would be someone who is obese and someone who is anorexic. I too enjoyed the aspects of using the golden mean in relationships, because I feel this is something that is applicable to me. And you couldn't be more right on the nose, that there is such a thing as having "too much of a good thing." :)COMM Aficionadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494084332419394333noreply@blogger.com
