Aphorism - 379, 380, 381
379Mankind has used two powerful weapons to destroy its own powers and enjoyment, wrong indulgence and wrong abstinence.
380Our mistake has been and is always to flee from the ills of Paganism to asceticism as a remedy and from the ills of asceticism back to Paganism. We swing for ever between two false opposites.
381It is well not to be too loosely playful in ones games or too grimly serious in ones life and works. We seek in both a playful freedom and a serious order.
Excess in any direction is a violence; and only in peace, poise and harmony can the truth be discovered and lived.
