"La abstinencia completa es más fácil que la moderación perfecta"
— Saint Augustine

Simplified Meaning:
It's often simpler to completely avoid something than to try controlling it in small amounts. Imagine someone loves chocolate. If they try to eat just a little bit every day, they might end up eating too much because it's hard to stop once they start. On the other hand, if they decide not to eat chocolate at all, they avoid the temptation and find it easier to stick to their decision. This approach can be used in many situations, like quitting smoking or reducing screen time. By completely cutting out the habit, people can find it easier to maintain their goals and avoid slipping up.
