Notable Quotations:

First of all, Rationality it is not a way of knowing the world, that would imply many other ways of doing it and put it at equality with the rest of human faculties, offering a view from many, being part alongside intuition, instincts, etc, but rather it is a process, process to something, to a better understanding. A simple analogy between senses will explain Rationality better. As humans, we dispose of senses, that extract stimuli from around ourselves and even from our inners, this stimuli thus needing processing, as it is currently standing, their of no use to us, but only after it goes through our brain it is then adapted to a form that we can comprehend and utilize as experience for further actions.

Losing Moderation means that the person in quest is greatly affected. Losing Moderation means losing Stability that is inherent to have Inner Peace, which in terms is true Pleasure. If that happens, then it is clear that the pursuit is no more beneficial to the one in quest for. Although the boundaries between that and Sadness are hardly to clarify fully, Moderation is inherent to Pleasure, and when we observe a lack of Pleasure we can say that Moderation is missing.

Asceticism does not reject Pleasure, does not think that having fun is evil or immoral, or we should live necessarily in a hut with few tools, isolated from the world, lost in the woods, but it offers a new way, a possible better one for people to follow and liberate themselves from the Material yoke, and become Free.
