I always wonder, when is enough really enough?
How many times during a conflict, we say, enough is enough? What IS that enough?
What is this benchmark of "enough?"
Mostly, we set our own limits, don't we? And
sometimes, others set them for us. For example, this far and no further from
both sides, actually.
You know, in a constantly changing world, I
find it difficult to understand this as a permanent concept. We know that
"space" is ever growing and endless. We measure it in terms of the
horizon but beyond that also is an ever expanding space. Maybe, the horizon
then is our limitation of the mind. Maybe, space beckons us to go beyond what
is apparent, again and again, repeatedly.
Strangely enough, we have it within us but
we tend to use it differently. Like, greed can become limitless. Obsession can,
too. The "enough" may not exist here. But we seldom have to accuse
anyone about enough loving. There is mostly a scarcity of this and exactly due
to a self imposed "enough", Math between people. "I didn't get
enough". But I probably also didn't GIVE enough...
But how much IS enough? Give this enough
thought.
