Those who are wise enjoy or suffer the extremes of whatever is enjoyable or sufferable. But person attached to mean happiness chose indifferent state of dullness; the former delight in the acutest sufferings or highest enjoyments; they do not like a middle course. They consider the extreme to be happiness, while that which lies between, is held by them to be misery.
अन्तं धीरा निषेवन्ते मध्यं ग्राम्यसुखप्रियाः। उत्तमांश्च परिक्लेशान् भोगांश्चातीव मानुषान्॥ अन्तेषु रेमिरे धीरा न ते मध्येषु रेमिरे। अन्तप्राप्ति सुखामा हुर्दुःखमन्तरमेतयोः॥
