The chain of LIFE..'moderation' keeps it in balance.

Life is a dish of experience..
Most of the time, u get the food u want..
Sometimes, u get with it things u don't want..
It makes up the dish..
The dish of life.

Sometimes, u get to try things..
And it ends up bitter or sour, not to ur liking.
Sometimes, at the first try..u loved it..
But u outgrow it as time go by.
This makes up the dish of life.

Things around us..are linked somehow.
Like food..
U can mix them to form a dish.
Certain ingredients don't taste well together..
Some don't taste well at all..at one time..
But as it ferments over time..
It ripens with age and its taste..classic.

Again..it's the dish of life.
And ya..life without food..
How long can u live without food?

Hahaha..this is how i link life with food! Especially in this festive Hari Raya season. Basically, i feel..many things..if not all..in life can be linked. The planets are linked by magnetic forces. Isolate each planet ..what are they linked by? Atoms and molecules.. And the list goes on and on... Let's have simpler things to examplify this concept. A tree..what can the tree be linked to? The squirrel living off it..the birds living on it..feeding on the worms and fruits growing on it. The growing saplings underneath..growing from the seeds from the tree..the oxygen we breathe from the trees' transpirotary system.. and the chain goes on and on again..

Life can never be isolated..never alone. Things exist on the sacrifice and the giving of others. In turn..the given gives back. Parasites feed off one back gives back in return.. This goes on..smoothly..in moderation. Cause the balance in Nature is maintained by moderation.

Look at what living in excess has caused the world.. Deforestation..for land space to cultivate crops. It takes away living space for the birds and other animals. These creatures die..with the readily available source of food for the insects at the cultivated plot of land..they swarm out and without the birds to keep their numbers in check.. they attack with devastating effects. What does Man do? They use pesticide..insects die BUT as time go by..they evolve and get used to it and Man again use more potent poison to counter them. Looking from another point..while Man is busy fighting the battle with the swarms..the poison seeps into the ground..deep beneath..flowing to the streams. This pollutes the water and the fishes are affected. Fishes die and some other stuff is affected and again it comes to Man to counter the problem. As the saying goes.."The solution of yesterday is the problem of today." We can't really do anything to stop it..it's natural..but what we can do is not to rest on our laurels after we solved a problem..tinking that it is done there and then.

Its not a bad thing to want to live comfortable..just don't live in excess. Other things like..poverty, pollution, social problems and obesity is also caused by this 'lack' of moderation. Go link it up!
