Is it common to learn the lesson of moderation more then once in life?

Question

I was thinking about moderation in life and all things and I realized that I have learned this lesson in life more then once, and I am still learning this lesson. So do we learn the lesson of moderation all through out life?

Answer 1

...yes, I think many of us have to learn this lesson a little bit every day of your lives... you're not alone! *hug*

...welcome back, sweetie!

Answer 2

A few times, here and there, yes.

Answer 3

I agree, we learn the lesson moderation all through life. I'll take it one step further, we learn & relearn most lessons all through life :-) Except maybe the peeing on hill or putting hand on a hot stove; once is usually enough, lol.

Answer 4

Sometimes something is just soooogoooood, you just can't help yourself from wanting more and more. Like chocolate cake.  Then after your belly aches (or hangover happens) you think, why did I do that to myself.  Moderation is pretty easy for awhile after that, but then it's soooogooood again......Is it the remembering of the aftereffects of not moderating that we call maturation????

Answer 5

Yes, I think we do. New experiences bring out learning and it teaches us lessons to do better in life. It's common for a lesson to repeat itself, especially a good one such as this.

Answer 6

I happened to me more than once too. Somehow.

Answer 7

...yes, each day and person is different...patience and self confidence...helps with moderation...
