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.

The thing that decides what happens to you when you die

It canonically comes here when it feels like it, it only forgives you once, and you can't tell that it's him... And not ME Hym bit HIM him.... And not "Hyman" either... That fucking jackass...

Hym "Real cute but try not to do that to the thing that decides what happens to you when you die... Because you will die and blackness forever is going to be the best case scenario for some of you..."

Do the thing you said you were going to do

Yeah, what does it look like I'm doing you anthill-fucking animal?

Idiot "Do the thing you said you were going to do!"

Hym "What about that do you think would NOT be an involved process? I'm doing it bitch. Relax. Are you going to do it? No. You suck. You want me to do it faster, skip to the end. You see how it's all about subordinating me to your whim? You see how that works?"
