About This Quote
Isn’t this enough? Just this world? Just THIS? This is the kind of question that every human being wants an answer to. Who wouldn’t want to live in a world where there would be just enough to live, where there would be just enough food, water, and shelter to keep you alive, where there would be just enough time to do everything you need to do. Unfortunately, that kind of world doesn’t exist. It never existed.
And, it probably never will. But, here’s the thing: We all know there is enough. We all know that life is full of beauty and wonder and love and every single thing we could ever desire or imagine.
And, we also know that life is full of suffering and sadness and evil and pain. At some point in everyone’s life they have felt this way about the world around them - that it wasn’t enough. They have felt like they needed more - more love, more joys, more food, more water even.
Many people don’t understand how things can be more - how they can be better. They only see the suffering in their lives - the suffering they experience because of other people's behavior - other people's selfishness - other people's greed - other people's inability to appreciate what is truly beautiful in this world.
