Excess of everything is bad. We should avoid it. It is good to love a child but if we love him too much, he is likely to be spoilt. He is apt to go wrong and form bad habits. Thus the middle course is always the best. We should love a child but if he persists in his wrong ways and habits, we must admonish him, too.
It is beneficial to take exercise daily. But if we have too much of it, we may fall ill. Exercise within proper limits does good but exercise in excess does more harm than good. Professional wrestlers have aching limbs in their old age.
A king should be kind and sympathetic towards his people. But if some rowdy element rises into rebellion against him over some imaginary wrong, he has no business to be kind. He must be ruthless and put down the rebellion and crush the rebels with an iron hand. If he is weak-minded, he is sure to suffer for his weak policy.
Milk is a wholesome diet. It is a perfect food. It should be a part and parcel of our daily diet. But if one takes it in excess, one is sure to suffer from dysentry and indigestion. He is sure to invite trouble and disease. Salt seasons food, but too much of it spoils the taste. Sugar is sweet but an overdose of it spoils the teeth and makes our dishes distasteful.
It is good to be rich but bad to be too rich. Riches in excess bring many evils, cares and worries. Henry Ford was the richest man of America but he cursed his riches. He got fabulous wealth but lost his health. He envied his poor labourers who could take cups after cups of milk but he himself could hardly take a cup of tea and a biscuit.
A shoe troubles if it is too loose or too tight but it gives comfort if it is of the right size. So is the case with all riches.
Reading is a good thing but too much poring over books spoils the eyes and health too. A scholar with poor health cannot play his part effectively in life. Sleep is a great restorative. After a sound sleep, one feels refreshed. But if a man sleeps too much, he spoils his health. He falls ill.
The cinema is a useful thing but if a young man goes to the pictures every-day, he is sure to waste money neglect his studies and spoil his eyesight also. Singing is a good pastime for a student but if he sings from morning till evening and neglects his work at school altogether, it will prove a curse for him. He will mar his career.
Mango is the "king of fruits". It is to India what grapes are to France, olives to Greece, figs to Spain, dates to Basrah and apples to Samarkand. It is said to be the favourite food of even the gods. It is rich in several vitamins, mineral salts and other protective foods. It gives tone to the heart, improves complexion, stimulates hunger and is helpful in liver disorders, loss of weight and several other physical disturbances. But if mangoes are taken in excess, they do positive harm.
Thus, we should avoid too much of everything. We should always steer the middle course. Moderation in everything is the safest course in life. The key to lasting happiness is to keep within bounds and discipline one's life. Excess of drinking or indulgence shatters one's health; too much of smoking affects lungs; over-work tells upon health; even too much of talking means loss of energy.
Too much of familiarity breeds contempt. One who squanders money recklessly comes to grief some day. So the golden principle is to be moderate in love and hatred, in pleasure seeking and saintliness. Going to extremes involves risk. It means neck or nothing. Feasting today and fasting tomorrow is the doctrine of fools. One who is modest, moderate and contented, is the happiest man on earth.
