"Everything in moderation."

If it's considered such a healthy philosophy then we should invest in the fullest ... We should concentrate less on the "moderation" end of the sentence and give equal attention to the "Everything" which is, after all, capitalized.

Everything in moderation.

in fact, to be sure we continue to receive the lifelong benefits of this principle we should consider:

Everything in [scheduled] moderation.

just have a couple beers and stop. but do so several times/wk.
have 1 cigarette every thurs afternoon.
Party all night once/month.
Take a heavy drug once/yr.
Have a fling every 5 yrs.

this might be good for us, and what's more, is possible to accomplish with the technology of the current day.

       With the news constantly bombarding us about "this is good / that is bad", "blah blah blah red wine red meat all beef olestra medicinal marijuana low fat painkiller", this actually seems not too bad an idea!

       Everything in moderation, including this axiom.

       But what about those things that mitigate against moderation. Murder for instance?

       If you beat someone half to death twice is that still murder, or 2 charges of attempted murder?

       I do everything in constipation, unfortunately.
