Temperance, that’s supposed to be the virtue, postgraduates. Moderation. The mean between extremes of overindulgence and abstinence.
It is a question of reason, postgraduates. Socrates is the model. Contemplate Socrates. He didn’t abstain from drink. He wasn’t teetotal. He drank – but he never lost control.
But these are not temperate times, postgraduates. Temperance can’t be our virtue.
