OVERBALANCED

BLUEGARTH


Know when enough is enough.
Restraint is partner to freedom.


An overworked act becomes boring.
An outstayed welcome is unwelcome.


An overplayed hand invites failure.

An overstretched posture injures.


Be sure to live throughout life!

And withdraw honourably.


Over?

Balanced!

'Going too far', 'Taking things to excess', 'Having too much of a good thing' are familiar expressions for forms of imbalance.
 
In personal life, this can be manifested not just in over-eating or alcohol abuse, but also in fanatical attachment to religious beliefs or moral codes. 
 
  In social or political groups, it can lead to bigotry, an inability to realise when long-held ideals have become irrelevant or impractical to implement. 
  The philosophical character of
Tao is pragmatic: inclining towards the 'tried and trusted', but open to fresh perspectives - if they can prove themselves.
