Avoiding extremes

One should avoid going to extremes in one’s thinking and actions. Going to extremes is a lethal poison. As it is wrong to seek simplicity and sincerity in poor clothing or a life being lived in a miserable house with a few, broken old things, so too its wrong to see and seek sophistication, civilization and prosperity in the modern style of expensive clothes and other luxuries.
