“You can’t have too much
of a good thing.”
Wrong.
Too much is too much,
no matter if good or ill.
Our human tendency is not to
realize it is
too much
until it is
too late.
Even when we finally feel the
too-muchness,
there is the difficulty
of extricating ourselves,
of saying no,
of walking away,
of letting go.
We fear
losing face,
social standing,
and
injured pride.
We stay with too much
by letting our ego decide.
So if you’re living with
too-muchness
it might be time
to give it a rest.
