Pleasure and moderation

Quotepic Epictetus on moderation set on a sea of vibrant tulips

Epictetus

This is a very old quote, and we still fight these same battles as hard as ever. Enjoying things without letting them become too big, too important, because then, they're not pleasures, they're chains.
