Temperance

temperance noun [U]

1 (old-fashioned) the practice of not drinking alcohol because of your moral or religious beliefs: The temperance movement was at its peak at the end of the 19th century.

2 (formal) the practice of controlling your behaviour, the amount you eat, etc., so that it is always reasonable moderation

FromOALD

Divinatory Meanings from Rider Waite Tarot:

  • Adaptaion, control, change through modification.
  • Working in Harmony. Successful combination.
  • Artistic creation.
  • Good balance and management.
  • 對我而言與其說塔羅牌是用來占卜,「提醒」的作用似乎更大。就像最近我對Temperance這張牌特別有興趣,不是沒有原因的,因為它正在提醒我:

    1. 別再三更半夜看球賽,一臉都是黑氣
    2. 不要沉淪在Dostoyevsky的意識流中,本來已非常意識流
    3. 看少幾次X-man和人氣歌謠不會死的,反正已經看了無數遍
    4. 再不自覺,harddisk很快會變成碎片
    5. 跟表妹搶特別版扭蛋(橙圈者)是極度丟臉的事........不過「巧取」是可以的,嘻嘻


    記得曾說過「無欲則剛」是世上最騙人的鬼話..............真是「不惜以今日的我打倒昨日的我」。節制呵節制,人都快23才談節制,一點也不容易。
