Excess in Anything Turns Into Harm
기원후 3~12세기경 편찬(구전 격언시)
ORIGINAL
अतिसर्वत्र वर्जयेत् । (atisarvatra varjayet)
📜 THE VERSE
Excess, in anything, should be avoided everywhere.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Among the things I keep pushing because they seem good, has any already tipped into excess?
📝Reflection
Even good things turn bad in excess — work, rest, restraint, even good deeds produce side effects when overdone. This short line offers a standard that applies equally to every virtue — before asking whether something is good or bad, first ask whether it has gone too far.
