Excess ~ Moderation Preferred

224 Views 17 Votes 35 Comments

Excess has the following definition… An amount of something that is more than necessary, permitted, or desirable. 

Anything can be done in excess. Posting, writing, sharing, many things. We all should set limits as to what our excess amount should be, and stop when we reach that limit. Just my opinion, of course. 

We are all free to do and share how much and how often we want. But maybe, just an idea, we should pause and wonder, am I in excess. Is what I am doing or sharing in excess. 

Everything in life requires balance. Too much of anything is never good.  Moderation is the key. Just sayin’.

Just throwing this post out there to get it off my mind. I am done now. Washed my hands and moving on.

  1. I have the opposite problem, I need to moderate myself less.
    I do very little already. ?

    I think moderation is directly proportional to how much you can handle. Actually, I admire those who manage to be very prolific, yet keep quality high and have time left to engage with other people’s content. The side effect of posting too much is that your readers won’t be able to keep up with you. That could be a problem, if you care.

    • Well good for you. 🙂 This was suppose to be only my thoughts thrown out for others to think about. Yes it could be a problem for sure.

      • That was a great point to bring up. It’s a bad thing when you’re no longer able to focus on what you’re doing, and keep up with it, because you’re doing too many things at once. It should be enough of a motivation to use moderation. ?

  4. Perhaps, and have you walked a mile or two in their shoes? Do you understand why they might be excessive? There are motives that might not be understood by all. My sister silenced herself personally, because she felt invisible.

    The bottom line for the site is content. Without content there would be no site. If the message was meant for me personally I assume you would have sent it to me privately.

    • This was not for anyone is particular, unless you want it to be. I am talking in general. And I alway think of others and what they might be going through. I talk a lot about how we should never judge anyone, as you don’t know their situation. But this post has nothing to do with that, it is about posting and sharing excessively.

      Yes we need content here but everyone, in my opinion, should think and focus on what they are doing and how much they are posting. Just my opinion, as I said.

    • There was no answer to your previous message because I refuse to get into a conversation about something that has nothing to do with me. Let’s have fun, smile, laugh, have a good time! 🙂

  7. Everything should be in moderation. It is a Buddhism principle. But if we look around, even in our own backyard, we will realize that each of us does not practice this at all times, in all aspects of our lives. ?
