The document discusses how taking things to excess is unsustainable and compromising is necessary. It describes several scenarios where the narrator initially thinks consuming/doing something all at once will save time and effort in the long run, but finds they quickly feel negative effects and crave doing it again sooner. Each time the narrator realizes they must compromise and do things in moderation every day instead of extreme amounts at once.
1. EVERY DAY
In the beginning I perceived that if I consumed colossal morsels of food at a time;
then I would be saving myself the bother of painstakingly masticating for the next
couple of marathon weeks,
But hardly had an hour elapsed of my devouring the same; that hunger pangs in my
stomach began to thunderously reverberate; and in the end I inevitably compromised
on scrupulously taking in my meals; every day.
In the beginning I perceived that if I bathed relentlessly at a time; voraciously
scrubbing my body with soap and stringent antiseptic; then I would be saving myself
the bother of disdainfully taking a bath in cold water in every shivering morning; for
the next couple of marathon weeks,
But hardly had an hour elapsed of my washing my persona; that there crept an
uncanny feeling in my brain of being disheveled and dirty; and in the end I inevitably
compromised on meticulously taking bath; every day.
In the beginning I perceived that if I walked indefatigably flexing the muscles of my
leg; then I would be saving myself the bother of keeping even a foot on the earth; for
the next couple of marathon weeks,
But hardly had an hour elapsed of running inexorably on the ground; that my legs
pertinently ached to boisterously jog; and in the end I inevitably compromised on
robustly walking; every day.
In the beginning I perceived that if I guzzled a complete well replete with sparkling
water at a time; then I would be saving myself the bother of incessantly taking the
pain of sipping liquid down my throat; for the next couple of marathon weeks,
But hardly had an hour elapsed of my gulping down the Natural elixir; that my
parched mouth pathetically cried for more solvent; and in the end I inevitably
compromised on drinking water several times; every day.
In the beginning I perceived that if I laughed in deafening guffaws all night; then I
would be saving myself the bother of tenaciously stretching the muscles of my cheek;
for the next couple of marathon weeks,
But hardly had an hour elapsed of my uninhibitedly spreading my teeth; that my
stomach propelled me to giggle again; and in the end I inevitably compromised
on fabulously smiling several times; every day.
In the beginning I perceived that if I studied tirelessly; read every piece of literature
that layscattered in vicinity at a time; then I would be saving myself the bother of
straining my eyes on intricate writing; for the next couple of marathon weeks,
But hardly had an hour elapsed of my finishing the bulky textbooks; that there arose
an inscrutable curiosity in my visage of knowing what was the speed of white light;
and in the end I inevitably compromised on diligently reading and imbibing;
2. every day.
In the beginning I perceived that if I wept hysterically; passionately beating my chest
with my tightly curled fists at a time; then I would be saving myself the bother of
shedding precious tears; for the next couple of marathon weeks,
But hardly had an hour elapsed of my crying spuriously; that I witnessed a tragedy on
the streets which compelled my eyes to glisten in astonished horror; and in the end I
inevitably compromised of feeling sensitively for mankind; sharing peoples
inexplicable sorrow; every day.
In the beginning I perceived that if I fantasized and loved vehemently at a time; then
I would be saving myself the bother of taxing my brain for the next couple of
marathon weeks,
But hardly had an hour elapsed of my envisaging tantalizing romance; that there arose
an insurmountable urge in my countenance to dream again; and in the end I
inevitably compromised of compassionately loving; every day.
And in the beginning I perceived that if I took in boundless breaths at a time; then I
would be saving myself the bother of exerting the jacket of my soft lungs; rest in
celestial peace without pressurizing my heart; for the next couple of marathon weeks,
But hardly had an hour elapsed of my exhilarating activity; that there occurred an
unrelenting gasp in my ribs for more fresh air; and in the end I inevitably
compromised of leading life slowly and steadily; every day.
