Whatever happened to the concept of enough? I have enough food, clothes, and so on. For example, I don't need 35 pairs of shoes. I can only wear one pair at a time! But I do need some specialty shoes and boots so somewhere around 7 or 8 is more than enough for me.

The fear of not enough is what drives the madness. I grew up in a household that did have a stash of food for emergencies... a closet or shelving unit full. We lived in areas where winter storms could knock out power for a few days.

The real issue is fear. It drives the capitalist minds. Someone might have more... I'm not getting a big enough share. It's back to the 5 yr old sandbox emotional state.

And it is destroying us, personally, environmentally, and emotionally.

Consider what is enough for you for a few moments. it won't ever be the same for everyone. But what can you scale back on? You know reuse, reduce, recycle.

Save the planet, save yourself...
