Democritus said ‘throw moderation to the winds and the greatest pleasures bring the greatest pains.’ Can anyone who’s ever overindulged not attest to this simple assertion? Think how good that first cinnamon bun tasted compared to the second or third until, ugh, the stomach is extended, not only far beyond the realm of pleasure, but seriously into the realm of exquisite pain! If one is good, two is not better, and three is downright misery! The winds are chanting: keep me moderate; keep me moderate; keep me moderate.
