At a party thrown by a billionaire friend on Shelter Island –
Writer Kurt Vonnegut informs his friend, Joseph Heller, that their host, a hedge fund manager, has made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his famous book Catch-22 over its entire history.
Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have….enough.”
Enough:
Is one of the simplest yet one of the most profound words in English.
Enough wealth. Enough food. Enough clothes. Enough connections. Enough information. Enough growth. Enough speed. Enough productivity.
Enough is the end of fear and scarcity.
Enough is the beginning of freedom.
We may not stop at Enough.
But not to acknowledge that milestone might put us on the road to nowhere.
