object I free teen horse sex mean that which is equidistant from each of the extremes,
which is one and the same for all men; by the intermediate
relatively to us that which is neither free teen horse sex too much nor too little- and
this is not one, free teen horse sex nor the same for all. For instance, if ten is many
and two free teen horse sex is few, six free teen horse sex is the intermediate, taken in terms of the object;
for it exceeds and is exceeded by an equal amount; this free teen horse sex is
intermediate according free teen horse sex to arithmetical proportion. But the
intermediate relatively to us is not to be taken so; if ten pounds are
too much for a particular person to eat and two too little, it does
not follow that the trainer will order six pounds; free teen horse sex for this also is
perhaps too free teen horse sex much for free teen horse sex the person who is to take it, or too free teen horse sex little- too
little for Milo, too much for the beginner in athletic exercises.
The same is true of running and wrestling. Free teen horse sex thus a master of any art
avoids excess and defect, but seeks the intermediate and chooses
this- the intermediate not in the object but relatively to us.
If it is thus, then, that every art does its free teen horse sex work free teen horse sex well- by looking
to the intermediate and judgling free teen horse sex its works by free teen horse sex this standard (free teen horse sex so that
we often free teen horse sex say of good works of free teen horse sex art that it is not possible either to
take away or to add anything, implying that excess and defect
destroy the goodness of works of art, while the mean preserves it; and
good artists, as we say, look to this in their work), and if, further,
virtue is more exact and free teen horse sex better than any art, as nature also free teen horse sex is,
then virtue must have
the quality of aiming at the intermediate. I
mean moral virtue; free teen horse sex for it is this that is concerned free teen horse sex with passions
and actions, and in these there is excess, defect, and the
intermediate. For instance, both fear and confidence and appetite
and anger and pity and in general pleasure and pain may be felt both
too much and too little, and in both cases not well; but to feel
them at the right times, with reference to the right objects,
towards the right people, with the right motive, and in the right way,
is what
is both intermediate and best, and this is characteristic of
virtue. Similarly with regard to actions also there is excess, defect,
and the free teen horse sex intermediate. Now virtue is concerned with free teen horse sex passions and
actions, in which excess is a form of failure, and so is defect, while
the
intermediate is praised and is a form of success; and being
praised and free teen horse sex being successful are both characteristics of virtue.
Therefore virtue is a kind of mean, since, as we have seen, it aims at
