Excess. But as William Blake once said “The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.”

I have a lot of excess in ways of luggages… so I must be heading for “the palace of wisdom “..soon or later ! information – transformation – visualisation – realisation – hopelysation – ^-^ -

Excess =too much, outrageous or immoderate behaviour, too great… So I presume that it contains PASSION [Πάθος in greek]. I think that if we always act with our whole heart and with ‘passion’ we will reach our target and wisdom.. Love, Thelma
