Moderation

Avoid extremes – do not make others jealous.

Benjamin Franklin as interpreted by Andreas A Landman

Allow me a quick detour. For those interested in the logical thinking processes more than the fundamental principles, I refer you to The Edge or Reason – you will gain much more insight there.

Back to our path.

We previously showed that everything can potentially have negative consequences, which, combined with the fundamental principle that people have the capacity and desire for various basic needs and emotions, lead to the conclusion that people can be jealous. If we further accept the fundamental principle that people are interconnected, we conclude that moderation is a good option for those who want to be effective.
