Right Relations
Moderation
A short Ma’at meditation on moderation, truth, and the discipline of right living.
The cup that is overfilled spills on the ground.
Take your portion and be satisfied.
If you dine at a rich table, restrain your appetite; do not grasp at morsels with greedy hands.
Excess is the enemy of well-being: the body bloated with indulgence houses a restless spirit.
Eat until you are nourished, drink until your thirst is eased, and let contentment halt your hand.
A small measure enjoyed in peace outlasts a banquet devoured in haste.
