Disappointment: The Opportunity Cost of Living a Western Lifestyle

in philosophy •  7 years ago 

I left the City because I was suffering from over stimulation. i have seen people whom I have respected become "prisoners of their possessions". Often I wonder , " What is Enough" and what is gluttony? At the end of the day, we all must decide what is best for us. Simplicity has a virtue of its own. one of my wonderful bat shit crazy Mother's favorite sayings was "Everything in Moderation, including Moderation". As a lad I asked "Mother what does that mean, it sounds like double speak?" Her response was again cryptic.. "When is a Bender a Bender"
So there you go....great piece, thank you.

Bingo. Possessions hold us back; that was my previous article topic What You Own, Owns You

What is Enough sounds like a good title for my sequel article :)
