Sufficiency

    Do you want more? How much more? How much is enough? At school we are taught content but not contentment. At work we learn efficiency, but where do we learn sufficiency? With advertising constantly stimulating our needs and consumption feeding our appetites, can we ever be satisfied with what we have? We are conditioned to believe that we can buy beauty, freedom and love, but do we know how to be beautiful, free and lovable? We are encouraged to aspire by wanting more rather than to be happy by needing less. How can you be more with less?
