Some chapters among my go-to on-line English translation aren't as obviously about enoughness for this thread.

> A person who knows contentment has true wealth.

Later I'll see Ursula LeGuin's work that avoids the gendered pronouns.

In the video Ayano-san talks of a #諺 Kotowaza proverb: #足るを知る (TaruWoSHiru): knowing what is enough. I've seen on-line memes about #enoughness too, probably associated with Buddhism. Probably a universal idea and around long before writing, it may have first made it into documentation with #老子 #LaoTzu.
> There is no calamity like not knowing what is enough
#JohnCHWu trans #LaoTzu46
#知足 #老子46
> 故知足之足。常足矣。
> 故に足るを知るの足るは、常に足る。
