When did you figure out Moderation was the key?
>It's okay! I only murder in moderation!
>>24365656
Murder in moderation would be self-defense or for direct purposes of justice. Capital punishment, that sort of thing.
>>24365656
You do when you go killing npcs in video games.
>>24365656
But this is right. How much is a moderate, acceptable amount to murder? None. So to not murder is to murder in moderation.
Who here /ascetic/?
How can you ever reach gnosis if you cling to the entrapments of the demiurge?
lol, moderation is a bunch of bullshit
I take everything overboard always, and I bet I enjoy my life more than you. I've been addicted to like 5 drugs I take methadone and benzos daily I drive fast I jack off tonnes, I use the internet too much I watch the hardest porn I have really intense relationships I hate with a passion I get depressed deeply I eat too much I od on like 6 drugs before I crashed 5 cars I been in jail psych wards hospitals I commit crimes all the time I'm a degenerate theif scammer and drug dealer I'm addicted to internet poker I fucked over 20 hookers etc etc
moderaion is for boring people with boring lives who do shit like data analysis and have 2 and a half kids, sex twice a month, get drunk once a year, ever smoked a cig, play golf, save for retirement, watch the game, do the mowing bla bla bla bla boring

When I was like 5 years old.
If you didn't realize this shortly after discovering shit like how to buy something at the store, how to count to 10, how to read, etc., then you are an idiot.

>being addicted to material things
the saddest part is you're content with being blind
>>24365843
The fuck you got against data analysis? It's a fucking excellent job and I'm excited to get into it. Fuck you and your political-intuitive decision-making mind.
>>24365843
but you need a crutch to be happy, a crutch that could be taken away at any given time. You would crash so hard. You've forfeited your life to your desires, you're not in control anymore
>>24365624
Moderation is better than additiction but cutting out the negatives all together is obviously the best way to live. People only say "moderation is better" because being completely free of vices is so difficult to achieve in the long run.
>>24365895
The saddest part is that sadness doesn't exist and is simply information created by humans to express the results of a situation on the human mental state.
You should probably consider finishing highschool
everything in moderation, especially moderation itself.
>>24365693
>moderation has an inherent correlation to whatever coincides with my ideology
whatever makes you sleep at night.
>>24365944
actually you're wrong, the mere fact that happiness exist is proof enough that sadness is real. As the laws of this world states if there is a yin there is a yang, just as a coin will always have two sides.
Being condescending doesn't change any of that.
>>24365745
is true happiness being able to experience joy when you have nothing?
>>24366047
Yes. If you're surrounded by material goods, how can you know if you're happy or if you're just happy because of those things? Try adopt a short period of asceticism and you'll see if ypu're happy with yourself.
