More or enough?

Desire, craving, hunger are recognizable states of being for all of us. But not every longing once fed dies…

sometimes the more we nourish some of our desires the more we are famished for more… for those who have an insatiable, avid nature, a sufficient amount is never an option; the additional, the further more is the only way they know how to devour and they are never full but instead always eager for more. But for those who live in moderation, the adequate amount is where they stand never crossing over the fences of the right dose in fear of stepping in the land of the unquenched thirst and risk an overdose.

What matters is to live in sincerity, never promote for a fake identity, and if you are a “more person” then so be it! Embrace your fervent soul and subsist in this honesty rather than alienate your true avid self to replace it with a false lucrative moderation that will serve the image you want to endorse in the eyes of others.

The famous Arab poet “Abou Al No was” used to live his life in excess, the more is less for him, always consuming and spending his assets and never saving himself. So he was advised to be easy on himself in order to preserve himself and his health and his answer was one that the history recorded he said “I would rather live my life fat and short than long and thin” his answer represents the answers of all those who adopt the same way of thinking.

If we want to measure life with numbers moderation would be the smart choice, but if we are using our interior hour glass, we calculate by our sensation, therefore killing all the reality of numbers, sacrificing quantity for the sake of quality, it is only from this angle and perspective exactly that a year added or subtracted would make no difference; it is the vitality in those years that add up and never the years..

What is life but filling each moment with matters we love, themes that will enhance shades and hues in our way of life. When we are carrying out an issue that we are passionate about we feel we exist more, nothing is ever automated, and we can do the same old thing with a new stir at each and every single time. We look at the same door we have passed through a zillion times before, only to see it with new eyes , with what takes it from a mere door to this very particular door with its nuances.

It is the wanting to experience more, to cross the barrier of our horizon to step into what is present beyond our filed of sight.

Some have a voracious hunger by nature, and others have a lukewarm nature. There is no right or wrong character just a different personality. We are not all the same and that is what gives our existence its opulence and interesting traits.

For some it is a blessing to stay within the space of” the enough” for others it is the curse of not having enough of the more they can however exhausting and draining it might be… some favor fatigue and prefer to wear out than to rust out doing just what needs to be done and nothing further… which one are you? Know the answer and embrace it as long as you are acquainted with the genuine you!
