Which is better - Too Much or Too Little?

So last night I went out and got a little lifted.
A couple friends and I went back to my house and played a little pool and had a few drinks.
We got onto the topic of if it were better to have too much or too little of something.

At first I thought I'd rather have too much! I mean think about it. I'd rather have too much money rather than too little; too much time rather than too little; 3 testicles rather than 1.
That is the sort of thinking that our society follows (minus the last part. that might just be me).
The more someone has, the better things are, right?

But I suppose that it is only really in a wealth sense that someone would want too much. For example. I'd rather have too little herpes rather than too much. (although I think having any herpes is too much herpes).

And then the thought about having too little or too much time came up again. Would you rather have too much time? Or too little? Having too much time sucks the pleasure out of life. In a sick, odd sort of a way, the fact that life is eventually ending makes things that happen more significant. However, it allows a person to spend more time with friends and family, and to experience all that they want to in life.

This post got a bit too serious. I think I'm going to get high.
