I'm learning that it's possible to overdose on anything, from fruit to feelings, there comes a point where nimiety begins to incur more harm than good. Even features that we're told are virtuous, in excess, can be harmful.
However moderation, is boring. Being moderately drunk, or moderately in love, or even moderately depressed is an offensive bootleg of something that is meant to be experienced in the extreme. Imagine if Noah had built a 'moderate' ark, it would be little more than the contents of the Ikea reduced aisle stacked two storeys high - with enough standing room for a gazelle and an otter - not the biblical combatant that braved one of the earliest documented cases of global warming.
As of today, I will try to step away from my comfortable and moderate existence and dabble in the world of extremes because if we are honest, it's the extremists who make historical differences and potent memories. I'm sure if Jesus was only prepared to be reprimanded with a 5-minute timeout on the Naughty Step for the sins of mankind, instead of dying for them, he probably would have been a footnote in God's lineage.
NB: Today is Sunday, hence the biblical references.
