"La moderación multiplica los placeres y aumenta el placer."
— Democritus
Simplified Meaning:
When people enjoy things in small amounts, they often find them more enjoyable, and the pleasure lasts longer. Think about eating chocolates. If you eat just one or two, you savor the taste and really enjoy them. But if you eat the whole box, you might feel sick and not appreciate the taste by the end. In the same way, doing things in moderation means you don't overdo it, and you can keep enjoying them over time. For example, watching TV shows. Watching your favorite series one episode at a time keeps you excited for the next one, but binge-watching the entire season in one day can make it less fun. This idea can help in daily life; when you practice moderation, you keep the good feelings lasting longer and avoid negative outcomes from overindulgence. It teaches us to balance enjoyment so each experience remains special and fulfilling.
