Excess comes from joylessness, not joy. He who is truly joyous has restraint, and is not wild or reckless. Alcohol, too frequent festivities, use of psychoactive substances, uninhibited sexual contact (especially without feelings to base it on), listening regularly to music– these are more signs of inner discontent and joylessness, decadence, weakness, purposelessness than a happy, carefree, and powerful spirit.
The trouble is that a certain inability to “control” oneself (–not react to stimuli, even to very slight sexual stimuli) is one of the most regular consequences of general exhaustion.
(Friedrich Nietzsche, The Will to Power, 734)
