The issue of people whose lives are out of balance is not a new one and philosphers through the ages have urged moderation:

Be moderate in order to taste the joys of life in abundance. ~Epicurus


They are sick that surfeit with too much, as they that starve with nothing. ~William Shakespeare


To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short. ~Confucius, Analects


Everything in moderation, including moderation. ~Author Unknown

No matter what happens... somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. ~Dave Barry, "Things That It Took Me 50 Years to Learn"
