Sour Soothers and the Golden Mean
Manage episode 428413471 series 24225
Speaker: Jeff Jarvis
As a kid I loved “sour soothers”. That sour, gummy candy that made you pucker when you put one in your mouth. I loved those things! One time I bought a bunch of them and ate them all within probably an hour. What I didn’t realize until it was too late was the citric acid was burning my tongue. By the time they were all gone, my tongue was raw and painful! Lol!
Sometimes too much of a good thing can spoil it – can’t it?
The Stoics thought a lot about the dangers of excess and the ways it can spoil our lives. This Sunday I want to explore the Stoic philosophy of Temperance and the sage wisdom it’s been offering people for 1000’s of years.
I would encourage you to invite a friend and join us in the “Gym”.
