There was a woman (but it could have been a man as well) who had too much activity in her life: too much work to carry out, too many responsibilities to take care of, too much noise to bear with a smile. Understandably, she was longing for some peace and quiet. Then time came when all activities and noise disappeared from her daily life and she found herself surrounded by total peace and quiet. The was left with only the silence she had wished for. Was she happy? Her dream had come true. But she wasn't. Why? Because "too much" of anything is never good. Neither too much activity nor too much stillness are desirable because, as an old wise Latin saying states, "In the middle stands virtue". Never go to the extremes of anything.
