Giving in to "too much"

When is something of anything is too much? How do you know how much is too much? Too much information, too much fun, too much sorrow, too much to ask.....

By definition "too much" has negative connotations...but isnt fun positive and so why would having too much fun be bad?

Our society does not accept extremes and therefore giving into extremes is considered to be eccentric and even bodering on mental instability. How do you know the eccentric people and the so called mad people do not think we are the ones who are abnormal.

We hear advice about balancing things out- work-life balance, balanced diet...what not! Is indulging, giving into temptations, crossing the boundary- always bad? If we do not push our limits and cross the existing boundaries how do we know our capabilities? How do we know that there isnt something better waiting there behind the existing wall of familiarity that we have created?

And then how do we define what is too much to bear? Many a times in life we come across a situation when we feel- Enough! I cant take it anymore but ultimately human elasticity of adapting comes into play.

Sometimes there are too many emotions to deal with sometimes conflicting...can they be balanced out?

I want to try out that state of imbalance where I stop resisting and probably give in to too much of anything- though it will be anti "Me"- I try to balance my life to the T. I would love to get crazy about something -go haywire-exhilarate in that rush of freedom which comes with letting go of all inhibitions and caution..

It doesnt need to be "too much" then- it will be just enough.
