I'd be temperate if it weren't so boring...

from Catching Foxes · host Luke and Gomer

**PROBLEM: **When goes a good thing become a bad thing? What if temperance looks a lot different (and maybe harder) than just not getting drunk or endlessly binging shows? Worse of all, what if temperance bores me to death and I don't want to do it anymore? CCC #1809: Temperance is the moral virtue that moderates the attraction of pleasures and provides balance in the use of created goods. It ensures the will's mastery over instincts and keeps desires within the limits of what is honorable. the temperate person directs the sensitive appetites toward what is good and maintains a healthy discretion: "Do not follow your inclination and strength, walking according to the desires of your heart." Temperance is often praised in the Old Testament: "Do not follow your base desires, but restrain your appetites." In the New Testament it is called "moderation" or "sobriety." We ought "to live sober, upright, and godly lives in this world."
