Enough

What is "enough."  So often, whatever it is, is NOT enough.  There is too often, the "more" factor.  Example: a fellow has a field that is producing a good crop.  It is sufficient for him, until it isn't.  He decides that he needs a tower.  His "more" is the fear of someone stealing from him when no one is looking.  Fear is one of the emotions that can trigger "more."  He starts the tower, only to find out that he does not have enough of whatever to complete the project.  He has half a tower, and his desire to hold on to what he has makes him look foolish.  Another example is the person who in fact is going to lose a good portion of what he has.  A ruler has lost a war to another ruler.  His fear is that he is going to lose "too much."  Limit his loss.  So he seeks peace terms.  But again, he too does not have enough to sue for peace.  He lost the war.  His enemy can take it all.  Better to have acceptance when defeated, and see what is available.  Better to show gratitude than a false sense of power.  Humility is what is missing in both cases.   Tomorrow's blog will continue this "enough" theme.
