We are told that to want little is to be a loser. We are told that if you aren't obsessed with growth, you are stagnant. But the most radical act in the 21st century might just be the act of moderation.

While the literal meaning is straightforward, the phrase adapts its tone based on where it’s used:

Wanting to leave work at a reasonable hour to see your children grow up is not a luxury. Asking your partner to put their phone down during dinner is not controlling. Expecting a landlord to fix a leaking roof is not high maintenance. These are the baseline contracts of civilized life.
