tl;dr means "too long; didn't read". it means your post needs to be more clear and concise. so basically, people suck at managing their life, and let small things affect their life. two examples: a person who loses their money in runescape by being lured to the wilderness decides that he will quit entirely playing video games, something he enjoys. he convinces himself that, since he had been playing too much due to a lack of moderation, he will quit entirely - an act showing his lack of moderation. he now no longer enjoys that part of his life. a person who watches a particularly bad episode of family guy decides that he will quit entirely watching television, something he enjoys. he convinces himself that, since he had been watching too much due to a lack of moderation, he will quit entirely - an act showing his lack of moderation. he now no longer enjoys that part of his life.
