Based on the "humours" theory, I see Temperance more as mixing the 4 humours, but never achieving an equal ratio or a balance. Sort of like life itself. Balance is the still point...stasis or death. It is seldom actually achieved in the biological world....even in Justice. Still, it is in the seeking it that we make our adjustments and pull our mentality and our lives back together. Like water seeking it's level Nature seeks balance. The day it is actually achieved however, the water stagnates and life ends. Entropy is death. So, that is the message of Temperance....the mixing of the contents of the two jugs never ceases...she never puts them down and says, okay, that's it.The journey in life never ends, until it ends.
