”Every excess becomes a vice”
Irony of all ironies, we picked this one on Thanksgiving, our national day of gluttony. Perhaps indulging to excess once a year, as opposed to adopting excess as a way of life, allows us to appreciate how good we have it. Even our ascetic Pilgrim forebears knew enough to revel in the abundance of this land for one day a year. It’s important to practice moderation, but it is also important to practice celebration and offer up appreciation. Like anything else, moderation should be practiced in moderation. In other words, live it up a little – just be thankful while you do!
Note: The turkey in the photo is actually a cake I baked, it’s a faux fowl.
Hi there,
I am of the opinion that a little excess every day can do no harm as long as it’s fun and filled with pleasure. As soon as guilt hits the fan, the pleasure is gone and it becomes an excess. Sometimes I eat chocolate every day. And I do not feel bad about it.
Hi Mimi,
One should never feel badly about eating chocolate every day
And, I like your point about a little excess every day. It is, after all, important to enjoy life and all it’s pleasures without going overboard.
oh wow, that picture is actually a cake?
great job!!! i thought it was a turkey really.
I like to live life with the philosophy, “everything is good for you in moderation.” To focus on positive energy can generate more.
I agree 100%, Liara!
