There's More . . .



. . . and then there's Mondo Cane
Excess, pun intended, abounds
The trick, I reckon, to this dilemma
Is not becoming one of the hounds

We've mentioned oysters and complications
And we're not through yet you may rest assured
A word here, if you will, upon disparity 
Lest we all become inured

There's thems that got and thems that haven't
There's kind and nasty and in between
A saint, I'm not asking, to be's very tough
But 'allowing' in practice is still rarely seen


There's More

Moderation . . .


mod·er·a·tion
ˌmädəˈrāSHən/
noun
noun: moderation
1.
the avoidance of excess or extremes, esp. in one's behavior or political opinions.
"he urged the police to show moderation"





Aristotle said, "Moderation in all things" and even wrote a book detailing multiple situations to which is can be applied. On the surface, moderation seems to be a wise and prudent approach to take with many things from diet to politics.  Still, Americans seem to find it a very difficult thing to practice.


Yet . . .

"A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation."
-Moliere

"Water, taken in moderation, cannot hurt anybody."
-Mark Twain

"Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess."
-Oscar Wilde

"Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation."
-Saint Augustine
