Banana skins

Taking time off work for a while, when for no particular reason I thought of banana skins.

Bananas are delicious, but their skins make us trip. Therefore it is a hazard as well as a beneficial item to us.

It then applies for all other items. No one thing is absolutely good.

Think about this...

1. Exams - A must, but harmful because it socialises society from the minute one starts school at a young age.

2. Good Food - No one type or any dish is wholly beneficial. Even with those that are called 'healthy', there is always some substance which is unhealthy that makes it healthy, therefore weakening the body at the same time.

3. Exercise - Good, but doing too much without taking note of your limits can kill.

4. IT - Too much focus on using IT leaves out the human, social element of interaction out of all things that we do.

5. Travelling - Nice scenery, but must negotiate with $.

and a lot more...

So what's the moral of the story about the banana skin?

Do what must be needed, but sufficient enough to achieve it. Do not overdo it.

Suddenly, I think I am becoming a disciple of 'limited war'.

Hmm...
