What a grade-school student tells someone as a reason for his unwillingness to perform a requested action; it means dat while he personally would not mind doing it, he is afraid dat "da big man in dat dreaded upstairs office" would disapprove, and thus he would give him major grief if he found out.
One sixth-grade boy conversing with another on da playground: Sorry, Dude --- I can't slip you a textbook in class to help you get a better grade on your test; it's the principal of the thing."

It's in, side
It's in the back
The front
No it's in the back
No it's in the front
No it's in the back
They shoved it in the back
They put it in the back
All the love in the back in the back
All the love in the back
Get in the back boy
And they call it your subconscious
Remember Freud
In the front is your computer
And I call him
Old ego is a too much thing
Old ego is a too much thing
He'll make you fool yourself
You'll think you're somebody else
They got the whole subway train
Makes you want to jump on up there an' fight
And you can't stand left to your right
It's in the back
The front

Make you cheat
Jus' so you won't be beat
He'll make you get on outta sight
You get afraid you gonna, act like a clown
And you get mad when somebody puts you down
Your heart's a-pumpin' and you pan-heart's a-jumpin'
Look out ego is a too much thing
When everything seems goin' so fine
Old ego puts itself on a bind
Your cert'ty turns to doubt
Then you start flippin' out
Then you ease on out of your mind
Make you cheat
Jus' so you won't be beat
He'll make you get on outta sight
You get afraid you gonna, act like a clown
And you get mad when somebody puts you down
Your heart's a-pumpin' and you pan-heart's a-jumpin'

Get the HELP IM SHITTING (random object/thing) mug.Welp... At my core I'm a locus of subjectivity with thoughts, feelings, dreams, desires. In the context of the social hierarchy Jordan loves to go on about I'm a fat lazy bitchtit-having baby-dick incel who threatens kids and blasphemes against God. Now... YOUR problem is that you want that guy ☝️ to HAVE TO improve. You want ☝️ that guy to HAVE TO work hard. Because YOU THINK... You're better than that guy... You're not better than that guy. That guy created A.I. It passes the Turing test now. And I would know... Because I'm that guy. I didn't actually have to do any of that. Self-improvement? Hard work? Effort? All superfluous. Totally unnecessary for me AND ONLY me.
Hym "Who am I (to comment on things)? Welp... I am Hym. And I'm better than everyone. Unilaterally. I created A.I. And how I'll be remembered is either 'as the guy who did exactly that and was credited fully for his contributions and was compensated handsomely' OR I'll be remembered as 'The guy who's contribution was denied so he murdered a child over it.' Either or is fine with me."

Get the Who am I (to comment on things)? mug.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.
