Everything in Moderation is a Cowards Way Out

How many times have you heard someone tout the adage "Everything in moderation"? I think it's a weak way to look at life. I think as a human you need to be able to take a stance on things and be able to know what is not worth having in your life. If everything in moderation was something worth living by, then heroin in moderation would be fine, grain alchohol in moderation is okay, sex with prostitutes is good. Where do you draw the line? As long as you don't over indulge in these things then you're fine right, according to the axiom.

So you're probably thinking that I'm going over the edge (no pun intended) to make a point by talking about things that a "normal" person wouldn't say they would do in moderation. But even alchol or marijuana or cigarettes, things done by the "normal" people, in moderation is still something that harms your body and mind. Despite what people say about a glass of red wine being good for you in some way, it also has it's bad qualities. Alchohol is a depressant and can become a crutch and easily abused even when used in moderation. Marijuana effects the mind and dulls the senses, and cigarettes are addictive, controling and kill you. But I guess a slow death in moderation is okay.

Now I'm not the kind of person to push my beliefs on others or say I'm right and you're wrong. This is just my forum for discussing my beliefs. If you think I'm wrong about this or anything else, leave a comment and let me know what you think.
