too much of a good thing

A phrase typically used to indicate that having too much of a "good thing" generally becomes a bad thing, and you're gonna have a bad time.

This applies to pretty much everything - even seemingly normal everyday habits - as well as more obvious examples like food, sex, drugs (especially alcohol), and, hell, even water.

All of them can be good, and they often are. But too much of any one of them will always lead to negative and painful consequences, some sooner than others. Especially if you're actively trying to ignore those consequences by continuing to over-use said "good thing" - all you're doing is just putting off that pain until later... because you're still gonna have to deal with it eventually. Somehow, someday, it's gonna bite you in the ass, and the longer you push it off, the harder it's gonna bite. Could be physically, mentally, emotionally, or even spiritually...

In fact, people are very frequently utterly destroyed by good things.

The difference between medicine and poison is always in the dosage.
There's really no such thing as "too much of a good thing," because once you start reaching levels of "too much"... then whatever you're doing, it ain't a "good thing" anymore.

Alejandro Luis Villalobos' thing(s)

1) I promis that I never tried to act cool or deep ever I just didn't know the difference e between tell or say and not only that it is even more complicated because I've tried both and I heard that sometimes people don't understand when I try to say something and so iam just very complicated

2) I am solitove-whout
3) I would prefer alonlearn ( i might've mispelled it but it should be from Natasha lobo )
4) also look at My Thing(s) from natasha lobo and ylu will see the other things that are problem every word that she put their

4)
Alejandro Luis Villalobos' thing(s)

the Alejandro from Natasha lobo's eauer posts on this same website , you will see words like depressed zombie, mixsorder, lonearn and so on , I spoke to him and he told me what is wrong with him. Also I would like to add on that in this example can we forgive him for everything that he has done since he just did not know that people made a urvam dictionary for him to either set him up or to convince other people that he tries to be edgy even though he doesn't try that at all when I spoke to him . Also he is solitove-whkut so just let him be from now on please especially if you are still bullying him.
