What’s “Enough?”

Human greed and indifference to the suffering of others didn’t just emerge on the scene in the last four years, but they certainly have been greatly amplified in a blink of an eye, haven’t they?  The U.S. president was elected largely because his supposed wealth was the object of the envy of the undereducated working class.

The obscene enrichment of a very few and the extreme suffering of the many are the defining characteristics of American life today,  especially in the face of a pandemic in which 22 million have lost their jobs, one-third of whom are suddenly without healthcare.

If there is a path that leads towards a sustainable civilization, it is most certainly not rooted in the disenfranchisement of the vast majority of the world’s population, leaving masses of the hopeless and apathetic.

Enough–that’s a good concept.

“It is not the man who has little, but he who desires more, that is poor.” – Seneca
