CAN YOU

I don't think so

Are you better now???

Yes.

Too much chocolate makes me feel ill.

Too much birthday cake gave me the runs!

Yes

Too much vodka gives me a dodgy stomach next day

Yes. When we have "the good thing" (whatever it may be) every day or as often as we like, it loses its specialty status and turns into a normal thing. And we won't be as delighted over having it anymore. I dare go so far as to say that it will bore us after a while if we've had too much of it.

But all of the above doesn't mean that we shouldn't enjoy it to the fullest while it's still special

No.

If you could ..

It would be ..

A Bad Thing.

Yes, and we do it so often that it ceases to be a good thing anymore.

Moderation induces desire, longing, patience, saving etc - all the things that make something worth looking forward to, and thus worth 'having'.

All the time that it remains a good thing you can not have enough, once it no longer is a good thing you have had enough.

I've often found that an excess of something we enjoy ultimately robs it of its enjoyment.
