Excess of a good thing is not a good thing.

[jackofallgeeks]

I don't understand. This article, about 'Seven Deadly Virtues'... those aren't virtues. A virtue, as defined by Aristotle, is a mean between two extremes. All this article is saying is that a 'good thing' taken too far is bad. Half of them aren't even really vices, just self-management tips. losing items isn't good, being disorganized isn't good, but being able to manage your anger and frustration is good.

Bah. A poorly-thought, poorly-executed, poorly-titled piece of self-help drivel.

It's just misbegotten pop-psych to the rescue(?).
