Just because moderation isn't right in every case doesn't mean it's not right here.

Your reply strikes me as a fallacy fallacy. It's not a logical fallacy if it's not used to support an assertion. In this case, it is the assertion.

You will find the Buddhist roots of the idea I was trying to convey also believe that even moderation itself needs to be applied with moderation.

For anyone who's about to reply to this without having an exact grasp of what they mean:

Moderation in all things, including moderation.

Basically my entire philosophy of life. The year I spent studying Buddhism in my last year of school rub off on me, and I still try and practice that every day, 8 years later.
