An intemperate lifestyle, which uses up resources we do not have, is not sustainable and ultimately leads to some form of interior disintegration.
-- Paula Huston, simplifying THE SOUL
Intemperance: lack of moderation or due restraint. Restraint has become quite unfashionable. The point seems strong and recognizable that lack of restraint is using something that we don't really have...or have a right to do.
For our society, this is a hard habit to break. ...and I am a part of it.
