How to use "In temperance" in context?
Left to their own devices, most humans naturally gravitate towards things that stimulate their senses and make them feel good. Unfortunately, this includes things like eating high-calorie foods and drinking alcohol. Unfortunately, over time these things can lead to weight gain and other health problems. Considered together, these problems form what is generally referred to as "in temperance."
Temperance is the philosophy that recommends moderation in all things. It recommends that humans avoid things that are too stimulating and make them feel good, in favor of things that are more sustainable and healthy.
