It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.*
(Kahlil Gibran)

Or you can be an agent of change, someone who creates tension and then relieves it.**
(Seth Godin)

We tend to take to excess what we care about most.

It’s why we do it and others don’t, hence the word is used as the measurement: “too far.”

Not for us, but for others.

Excessive just feels like normal to those who MUST.
