Shalom and welcome to your daily dose of Rambam. Today we’ll delve into Hilchot De’ot, where the Rambam discusses the importance of finding a middle path in all aspects of life.

He teaches that one shouldn’t be overly stingy nor excessively lavish, excessively joyous nor overly mournful. Extreme behaviors, he cautions, can lead to undesirable consequences.

Life is about finding balance. Just as a healthy body requires moderation in food and exercise, so too does a healthy soul require a balanced approach to emotions, finances, and social interactions.
