no, see

what i mean is - you see many people who completely avoid alcohol.
caffeine, sugar, meat, vegetables. leisurely activities, work people hwo
watch tons of TV. people who watch none. people who plays video games all
the time, those who neve rplay. those whoe read, those who don't. etc

our lives are filled with the *desire* to be moderate, and often we can
foo lourselves into thinking we *are*, but there are (in most cases) more
areas of extreme in the average person.

except for the The Drew (tm), of course, who is the perfect model of
balance.

i only e know that i crave it, and that i don't often have it. i mean, i
sit in front ofa computer all day long doing virtual stuff. how is that
balance?

i try to see the other side of what people say, and not react extremely.
that's maybe the only way i am not exmtreme.
