*The Measure of Moderation*
In the Zhuangzi, it is said: “He abides in the measure of moderation, and dwells in the realm of the infinite.”
To live with moderation means to know the proper measure in all things—when to advance, when to withdraw, when to act, and when to refrain. Fortune hides within misfortune, and misfortune within fortune. What matters most is balance.
Work hard, but not at the cost of your health. Love deeply, but never lose your self-respect. When a cup is too full, it spills. When things go too far, they turn against us. Life is not about extremes—it is about knowing where to stop.
True peace comes not from having more, but from living within your limits with grace. In a world that pushes for more, the wise choose enough. And in that choice, they find freedom.
