Reply to comment by NOLA_Tachyon in Look on the dark side | We must keep the flame of pessimism burning: it is a virtue for our deeply troubled times, when crude optimism is a vice by ADefiniteDescription

Pessimism is like salt. Pepper is like optimism.

It's pretty clear when you've used too much salt.

It's a lot harder to use too much pepper. There's a healthy balance.

Sorry this comes off as someone who’s never stepped foot in a kitchen. You can most certainly over season with pepper. Especially if the person can’t handle spice, example: the fine people of Great Britain.

I said a healthy balance, I didn't say it was guaranteed to sit well with the lightweights.

But is it usually unhealthy to use too much pepper as opposed to salt?

It most certainly did.
