I realize that you have probably heard this before, but in all honesty, when is enough, enough? Now when I say this, I simply mean how our society seems to always be reaching for the next win, dollar, spend, and power. In other words:
- We have star/starlets wanting more money, more cars, more houses, more stuff, and when this isn’t enough they want to be on reality T.V.
When is enough, enough?
- We have politicians who have beautiful wives and more power than most, yet they are one of the first to cheat on their wives and abuse their power?
When is enough, enough?
- We have rules/laws that don’t allow parents to parent without someone interfering.
When is enough, enough?
- We continually cut our deficit by closing schools, public programs that help thousands, and over tax the middle man.
When is enough, enough?
- We have children who have no respect, little ambition, low self-esteem, internet bullies, and little to no manners.
When is enough, enough?
So I ask you:
- When will we be happy with what we have instead of worrying about what we don’t?
- When will we learn that stuff is stuff? – It won’t love you and it won’t care – people do.
- When will we stop the negativity and start the positive movement?
- When will we stop listening to the crap and start listening to ourselves?
We are all capable of love, trust, happiness, excitement, peace…etc. We all have these within each one of us, so why don’t we tap into them? Why do we try to fill our holes with stuff?
Let’s become a nation that supports one another, lends a helping hand, and cares for human kind/nature. I suggest you sit down and write a list of all the good/positive things in your life. No matter how bad it is, I bet you can find something; all you have to do is believe.

Very thought provoking Katrina. I think the attitude of “more” is largely what’s wrong with our country right now.
