How do you know when how much is too much? Too much too soon. Too much information. Too much fun. Too much love. Too much to ask… And when is it all just too much to bear?

Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

The repeated phrase too much moves through timing, information, pleasure, love and demands. Each example shifts the kind of excess being considered until the final question makes it a matter of endurance. The passage explores how abundance becomes overwhelming without supplying a simple threshold for that change.
