Simplified Meaning:

Humans often have a tendency to overdo things, which can cause problems. For example, people might eat too much, work excessively, or want more money than they need. This can lead to health issues, stress, and feeling unhappy. In history, we've seen how chasing too much power or wealth can start wars or cause economic crashes. For a better life, we should try to find balance and avoid going to extremes. Whether it's managing time, eating healthy, or spending money wisely, moderation is key to a happier, healthier life.
