Is too much of ANYTHING a bad thing?

Too much health?

Yeah, if you breathe too much, you get light-headed.

Too much knowledge could be a bad thing. I can think of two different ways:

1. one has to look at the opertunity costs. If you spend all your time seeking knowledge, you miss out on life, friends, etc.

2. if you friend tells you he has killed someone, having that knowledge can send you to prison as an acompliss (sp?). In that case, I would say you had too much knowledge, and it was a bad thing.

So I am in support of those who say “too much of ANYTHING is bad.” All depends on your definition of bad though. Some might argue that just because you go to prison maybe it was still worth knowing. After all, then you get the chance to know what living in prison is like, and if you are truly only concerned with seaking knowledge, that might not be such a bad thing.

1. You could learn from your friends!
2. I am not a lawyer, but I don’t think this makes you an accomplice. I suspect you need to help in some way to be guilty, for example after the crime by providing an alibi.

My knowledge of prison (second-hand) is that it is not pleasant.
It shouldn’t just be about acquiring knowledge, but using it wisely.

If you do nothing too much, you will become unfit and unhealthy!
