It’s fascinating how we can learn so much about navigating the complexities of life from timeless wisdom. Take for example the Rambam in Hilchot Deot 5:11. He explains that the healthiest approach to living is by finding a middle ground in our character and our actions. We should strive to embody moderation, not veering to any extreme.

Just like Aristotle’s Golden Mean, this advice encourages us to live balanced lives, avoiding excessive behaviors and instead, aiming for a harmonious existence.
