  1. So, too much of a good thing…

    1. In a nutshell.

  2. Heck, even water can be toxic if too much of it goes into your body. So, yup, you can definitely have too much of a good thing. 🙂

    1. I just go for effective within my ethical boundaries. Wipes out the labels of good and bad. 🙂

      1. Definitely makes sense. I go for “Do no harm, help when you can” in my own life. Might be a low bar to set, but eh.

      2. I don’t think that’s a bad thing at all. One of my favorite quotes is: “Ultimately evil is done not so much by evil people, but by good people who do not know themselves and who do not probe deeply.”

      3. I really like this quote, thanks for sharing! And it does make a lot of sense. A misguided good person can definitely do a lot of damage!

      4. Indeed! plenty of evidence for it!
