EnOugh is EnOugh: part 2

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?

EnOugh is EnOugh

I've had ENOUGH children. 3 daughters to care for, we have ENOUGH money- we don't need much. Sometimes I say "I've had ENOUGH"- but i know, i would gladly cope with more.
the MORE children I have the MORE active I become. I do much MORE now than when I was only responsible for me- I used to say "there's not ENOUGH time", but now I make the time.
Resourceful and organised, we can have ENOUGH.

With many voices we say "WE"VE HAD ENOUGH" - but we are not heard, or rather ignored... whether we rally for home birth, old growth forest or climate change...

Have you heard of FREEGANISM? when there is EXCESS produced that you can eat from dumpsters, a society with MORE then ENOUGH, has given birth to a movement, a lifestyle, and a solution. Dumpster Diving and Squatting unused buildings, occupying spaces that are forgotten, and discarded.

Mother Earth has ENOUGH, yet we rape her resources to fill the wallets of a few. These FEW will never have ENOUGH in their wallet, for they are soulless destroyers, without conscience.

well i say: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, do you really need that Air-Con? what are you consuming? and does it really matter? I hear of the fad about 365 consumer-free challenge: but mostly it is a joke at best- "OH" they say, "i'll buy no new clothes for a year!" but I'll still drive my 4WD, and have the pay-tv and the Air-Con and the gormet organic food imported from italy... get real. Are you so consumerist that the challenge reduces your consumption to a point still higher than the average hippy or low-income family?
THINK about it.

ENOUGH said!
