Sugar bowl (legal maxim)

Okay, so a sugar bowl is a thing that holds sugar, right? Now imagine that the sugar bowl is like the place where people keep important rules called legal maxims. Maxims are short phrases that help people understand the law and make fair decisions. But just like when you pour too much sugar into the bowl, sometimes there can be too many maxims to remember or use all at once. That's why when people talk about the sugar bowl maxim, they mean that sometimes you have to use common sense and not rely too heavily on following every single legal maxim, just like you wouldn't pour too much sugar into your cereal. Instead, you should consider all the rules and make a fair decision based on the situation you're dealing with.
