Prudence on steroids.
Kiryakov turns what should be a virtue into a vice.
But don't listen to me listen to Plato:
“Moderation, which consists in an indifference about little things, and in a prudent and well-proportioned zeal about things of importance, can proceed from nothing but true knowledge, which has its foundation in self-acquaintance.”
Kiryakov can't distinguish between "little things" and "things of importance" and therefore he has become a peculiar man. A stranger to himself. And a pest to everyone else.
He needs to readjust the settings. Find the balance. The harmony. Get in touch with his spirit. ( Maybe I'm getting carried away -- but a little New Age never hurt anyone.)
If we go all out and don't know how to temper ourselves we can all become like Kiryakov. We might have the right message but it will become corrupted and we may do more harm than good.
So Kiryakov here's my recommendation for you if you don't mind -- a yoga class -- easy does it before you get too excited -- the local library is offering it: for free.
Breathe, dude, breathe.
