When someone bakes you a cookies, you feel happy.
When someone bakes you a dozen cookies every day for an entire month, you start to get the feeling that they just like baking cookies. That, and a queasy feeling at the smell of snickerdoodles.
Sometimes, less is more, in so many ways. More special, more exciting, more thoughtful.
More may seem better, and sometimes it is. The trick is learning when something is quantity improves quality.
More cookies are great when you have a big group, for then everyone can have some.
More cookies when you're sitting alone at home can lead to a stomachache.
More for the sake of more is excessive, and can lead to selfish tendencies. More for the sake of helping those who have less a way to care for others.
Next time you seek for more of something, ask yourself why exactly you want more.
Then, ask if your reasons are sound, or if there are better things you can seek for.
