did not get what Marla meant

Antonio: One can live a life of moderation by never deviating from middle course. But then one loses the joy of spontaneity and misses the oppportunities that come to those who are occasionally willing to take great chances, or to go too far.

Marla: But one who, in the interests of moderation, never risks going too far is actually failing to live a life of moderation: one must be moderate even in one's moderation.

Can a person, in the interests of moderation, goes too far according to Marla?

One must be moderate even in one's moderation。
人一定要适当节制。
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
有点“过犹不及”的意思。

eg：
I gave up unhealthy foods. However , one must be moderate even in one's moderation. I eat French fries occasionally.

我不吃垃圾食品。然而，人一定要适当节制（别太难为自己）。所以，我偶尔吃吃薯条。（虽然薯条是垃圾食品，但是好吃。所以，偶尔吃下也无妨。想吃点就吃点吧，别太较真）
