by definition "enough" means the perfect amount, no more needed, nothing more desired.
Here is a photo of the Murray River at Port Augusta, S.A. (near the end of her journey).
The Mighty Murray has been sucked dry by irrigation, as has the Darling, which, by Port Augusta, has entered the Murray along with numerous smaller rivers. YET, at a point where she should be glorious, mighty and strong- this River is a muddy trickle of her true self- and this is despite the Snowy River being redirected to compensate for the irrigation greed. The land suffers, the water suffers, and still the farmers suffer. it is never enough.
The demands for cotton. gold, rice, canola, wool and fruit produced in abundance to meet the supermarket desire for full shelves to encourage buying (the wastage is outrageous) why can't we eat seasonal, local or self grown food? because the magority of the population dwell in the concrete jungle, the cities- the lifeless wastelands. YET- in these wastelands you can live and eat of the discarded, dwell in the forgotten...
it is apparent that the more that is desired, the more taken the LESS we have. when you have enough, there is no one wanting, and nothing wasted. sustainable, satisfied, equilibrium.
so, does this mean we have too many people? or just a consumerist approach which leaves many starving and poor, while a few are wealthy and fat?
