How much is too much?

Answer 1

Good question, and lots of interesting perspectives, here's a view of mine, I developed a few years ago, and I'm still rather fond of it.

The Rules of Enough
(possibly the only rules we will ever need)

1. Enough is enough.
2. Less than enough is insufficient.
3. More than enough is greed.

Answer 2

In monetary terms £5 for a packet of cornflakes is too much.
In human terms-my company expects me to work a ten hour day all week. This is too much for me.
A little child goes blind in Africa for want of drugs that will cost £2. The blindness is too much to pay when the monetary cost for a cure is so little.

Answer 3

The first risk here is in being too general in response, and the second, in becoming too specific within a personal point of view about things that, for example, I would like to have more of in my life. The solution therefore is in finding a thing so common in need that everyone would like to have as much as one could as an ultimate goal of everything. In my view, therefore, power is what most people crave for, and aim to have whatever path they might choose in their life. I have seen people accumulating power by being moral, virtuous, ethical, through heir wealth, health, beauty, talent, wisdom, through their care, compassion, racial pride, you name it, and I will tell you that the ultimate goal of excelling in all the things in life can very easily be traced as power, so much so that people who can love cannot help feeling power upon the one they do. In this sense power is the virtue of all things good in this world; what for example, is the purpose of being noble and virtuous if one is to become weak vulnerable.

Something about a person therefore becomes too much when it grows larger than the person himself, when something about you starts to outshine you, or when your strength grows out of your own reach. It all depends upon how much in capacity we are, who would then decide how much is too much.
