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.

I'm not apologizing for a single Goddamn thing from the inside of an echo chamber made out of idiots

No. I don't need to apologize for rape. I didn't rape anyone. You are stealing both my life and my identity and replace it with YOUR shit life and convincing a gaggle of idiots to help you do it doesn't make you smart and it shouldn't distract from the fact that I was right about the "weaponized schizophrenia" and what it would lead to.

Hym "I'm not apologizing for a single Goddamn thing from the inside of an echo chamber made out of idiots. I'm not going to let a power tripping idiot twist my arm into making an apology for a rape I didn't commit or doing something that is benign. I'm not swapping lives because you don't like the shit I said."
