"Balance at the school picnic"
At a school picnic in a Slovenian village, pupils organised games, food and music. Žan was in charge of the desserts and initially wanted to bring lots of cakes to impress everyone, but realised that this would waste too much money and food. Instead, he moderately chose a few smaller desserts to satisfy everyone. Also, the group of students who chose the music wanted to play only loud songs, but they settled on a moderate mix of calm and lively songs for everyone to enjoy. The moderation allowed the picnic to run in balance - no food was wasted and the atmosphere was enjoyable for all. However, once the pupils overdid the music and games without taking others into consideration, the picnic became chaotic and some left disappointed. Moderation brought harmony and joy, while excess brought discord and loss of balance.
ValueModeration as balance and accountability in decisions that benefit the individual and the community.
