Is too much of a GOOD thing...BAD?

[ClearAsCrystal]

It may sound like a rediculous question, at first glance and slight consideration.

But think a little deeper about it.


I mean, if there is something you love alot...and had a chance to enjoy that thing

- all the time, would it turn bad after a while and would you get sick of it eventually?

There's a chocolate factory in Halifax- well, Dartmouth, acutally. I once heard (indirectly) from someone who worked there that out of the dozens of employees, only one or two can still stand to eat chocolate they're surrounded by it so much.

And that's chocolate! If you can get sick and tired of that, what hope is there for anything in the world?

[ClearAsCrystal]

!

that is just the idea I was looking for.

If the smallest things (i.e...food) can get to being a bad thing for you ... does that mean you can get tired of being with the same person!?

[Space Cadet]

I doubt it, because people always change. Slowly, but drastically. Chocolate will always be chocolate.

If you marry someone, you don't promise to stay with the exact person standing at the altar with you, you promise to stay with them for the whole arc of their life.

[ClearAsCrystal]

Alot of their character traits remain the same.

[Space Cadet]

But become expressed in different ways over time.

Even after 24 years, my parents can still completly surprise me (and each other) and as for things staying the same, well stability can be important too. It's not like chocolate- eat too much chocolate and you feel sick. Know that someone's there for you for as long as they can be and you feel safe.

[ClearAsCrystal]

I suppose

I think I just feel to have that type of character to get fed-up with things really easy.

I get less and less amused with things as time goes on.
Like, I need things to be bigger and better the next time around :confused:


It makes me afraid to commit .. and honestly, that is a really really really scary thought.

* EDIT

because I don't WANT to be that way. I want something to be able to change. I really depend on things being dynamic.

Maybe that explains thigns about me.

I can't even have ordinary, stays the same way throughout candy! It has to be something that changes flavors, colors, anything.

Even clothes, it is usually able to serve double purpose, or be reversible or something.


Even those little things are like the way I am in bigger things. I dunno if it's a good thing (in the smaller things) but the big things is what I am afraid of.

[busybeeburns]

definately, especially petrol fumes and urinal blocks :o

Well, I don't know if it comes across online or not, but I'm a bit of an ADD poster child. That said, no matter how much I get the urge to move on or do something else or change whatever it is, when something is really, trully worth holding onto, I set my will to hang on for dear life in spite of myself.

It's rough sometimes, for instance after 5 years of moving onto something new every year or so, that second year of college almost killed me.

But there are some things in life that you are just never going to get that good again, and some chances that will never come back. Those things are worth fighting for, even if it's your own self that you're fighting with.

I second that urinal blocks point.

That is the attitude I wish I had for MOST things... sadly, it eludes me.



(oh and, thanks guys, thanks a million for the urinal blocks point..I think I changed my world wide view..thanks)

[Ryujiki]

I doubt it, because people always change.

I do not think so.

People do not change,people just stop doing things

[heartofgold]

you can never have enough mcdonalds... mmm

[busybeeburns]

I second that urinal blocks point.I wish I could put them in my pocket and take them home. But hundreds of people piss on them each day, probably not a good idea

[RICK8]

No I think that it is not,everyone deserves all the good things,but it is almost impossible to always get it....

[ClearAsCrystal]

^^ and you would never tire of having always good things!?

[RICK8]

No i reckon that i would not :D

[ClearAsCrystal]

thats...weird :confused:

[RICK8]

Yep I'm a :freak:

[ClearAsCrystal]

I see :stunned: Not a freak, really. Just easily satiated :wink: Bravo

[RICK8]

:/ Never heard that word before satiated....and before you start laughing remember that english is my second language...:P:P

[ClearAsCrystal]

No laughing manner :I

satiated is satisfied to the extent of excess...fully and pretty easly satisfied.

Sorry bout that kid. :wink:

[Black Rose]

Lager is a good thing, but too much of it makes it a bad thing.

[ClearAsCrystal]

And I didn't mean for this thread just to be about eadibles like chocolate and laggers :P

But those are good examples.

It could be about things in life ... bigger things.

[Black Rose]

Too much sex is bad for you

[ClearAsCrystal]

I would agree with that statement.

[RICK8]

Too much sex is bad for you


Again I would have to disagree!!

[ClearAsCrystal]

You have not experienced that yet... so how would you know!?

[bruttiиo]

I believe some old people are a good example of what relationships should be and they show that you can never have too much of a good thing if it truly is a good thing... and a close relationship with a lifetime companion who really loves you and you love back can be an eternally worthy thing. Too much of some good things is always bad... someone could eat chocolate forever... but not if they had it 100 times a day. too much frequency with something like that can be a bad thing.

The best things are not THINGS so to speak. They're not physical things, they're principles and morals and purpose. Love is a principle, there can never be too much of that I believe.

[Reilly]

I'd disagree about having too much sex. It may be unhealthy in a way, like, not getting enough sunlight and such haha, but I dont think it gets to the stage of having 'too much'. Not even if you spend the better part of a month in bed.

You have not experienced that yet... so how would you know!?

He hasnt?! :sick:

[bruttiиo]

for some people there probably is too much sex and for some people maybe there isn't. It probably just depends who the person is

[ClearAsCrystal]

Well...I am sure he hasn't had sex like ten times a day (or however much TOO MUCH is) I am not saying he has never had sex, and I am not saying he has..because I don't know either way :wink:

[RICK8]

You have not experienced that yet... so how would you know!?



Um yeah that just shows how much you dont know me!!!!

[Black Rose]

Speed is good, too much speed is bad.

[ClearAsCrystal]

Um yeah that just shows how much you dont know me!!!!


I would never disagree with that, Rick.

[RICK8]

Right....we seem to never post at the same time anymore....:(

[dontyoushiver]

being nice to people all the time is a bad thing

[_frenchkriss]

bad....because you get addicted to whatever it is, if it's tooo tooo good.
[example: chocolate]

[Jack]

Too much of a good thing is a bad thing.

Too much of a bad thing is also bad.
