The Law of Diminishing Returns
Mood:  cool
Now Playing: The Shaggs - My Pal Foot Foot
I think it was a lyric from that Postal Service record that said, "It's not a party if it happens every night."
That statement has echoed in my mind for a couple of years, in good times and bad. It's so true. Anything can lose its effectiveness, thrown off balance by overexposure. Moderation and temperance in all things are the key.
Take, for instance, this blog. If I posted daily, would I really have anything important to say? Or would I concoct hasty, unripe ideas and thoughts in the interest of keeping on schedule? What if a person was forced to write a song every day? How many of those songs would be inspired? How many would be nothing but excercises?
It's the old quantity vs. quality debate.

Like this post. In the interest of brevity, I could have simply said:

I prefer Quality over Quantity in most things in life.

Why think in terms of sheer numbers?

You know what Reginald, I agree! Your post relates to several things we have been discussing lately, and as I turn over each subject in my mind, I realise the wisdom of your thoughts. I've often felt this way about fall leaves. I sometimes wish they were in fall colours all the time, but then I realise that if they were, they would appear commonplace, and we would all be wishing for green.
