Warm welcome to all our listeners. Today’s thought comes from the Rambam’s Mishneh Torah, Hilchot De'ot, where he elaborates on the concept of moderation. Rambam teaches us that one should strive for the middle path in all character traits. For instance, courage lies between recklessness and cowardice, and generosity stands between stinginess and wastefulness. By finding this balance, we cultivate a healthy and harmonious life. It’s a reminder that in our daily interactions, whether in work, family, or community, we should aim for equilibrium and avoid extremes. Embrace this wisdom, and let it guide your actions and decisions.
