> “In the sixth century BCE, #LaoTzu.. wrote that the person who knows that enough is enough will always have enough. It has taken us twenty-six centuries.. forget that, and it is high time to relearn it. #RobDietz and #DanONeill provide a compelling case.. an accessible guide.. simple and achievable steps”

_#EnoughIsEnough_ by #RobDietz and #DanONeill with a Foreword by #HermanDaly. These are names I've been seeing in #NaomiKlein's #ThisChangesEverything and #KoheiSaito's book on the #Anthropocene. It feels like Fate to stumble on a whole book about #Enoughness just when it's been preoccupying me more than usual since last night...

> [#JosephHeller].. and I[#KurtVonnegut] were at a party given by a #billionaire on Shelter Island. I said, “Joe, how does it make you feel to know that our host only yesterday may have made more money than your novel ‘Catch-22’ has earned in its entire history?” And Joe said, “I’ve got something he can never have.” And I said, “What on earth could that be, Joe?” And Joe said, “The knowledge that I’ve got enough.”

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

> 故知足之足。常足矣。
> 故に足るを知るの足るは、常に足る。
