(...)So I would like to ask, do you believe that practicing temperance can lead to greater happiness and fulfillment? And what are the strategies to use in cultivating self discipline and moderation?
I think this is perfect for the truth, if we talk about balance in each person's life, it will not be the same.
Just like a farmer will be completely happy with a bountiful harvest, and with politics they will be completely happy with the administration that brings about the right solutions for their citizens to have a good life.
So standing in different positions in life, we will see for ourselves that the happiness of others is not necessarily the one we are looking for. Before, I also thought that having a lot of money or being respected at work would make me happy, and I suddenly realized that my life was just trying to please the people around me and not realizing the meaning. meaning of life. And when I decided to return to the countryside to live a simple life without much competition or jealousy, I suddenly realized that balance was my choice. There is one thing that I find great about religions where most direct people to live simple lives and love each other, perhaps only a few go through a lot of new suffering suddenly realized the meaning of balance.
