When is Enough Enough?


I come to find now days that we want more than we actually need in life. In this thought are we just a consuming society or do we actually want to care about our (environment) lives? Businesses want to expand & builders want to build. People of every walk of life want things that are unnecessary for their own survival. What is a third world country? Is it where you live? You should really think about this for a minute.

We as a human race want to love and care for one another. This above all is the one major thing that is known but most will not say it out loud. Some even try consuming love in any form that they see it. Love is to be shown not taken or consumed to the point it becomes unrecognizable.

We want to consume and when consuming we decide we want more. Then we see what others have and some say I want one of those. This therefore proceeds further into I want it all for myself. You then have some that say they will do whatever it takes to get what they want. This could lead to a criminal offence.

Business by expanding must consume more land and whatever they are making. This could be food products or earth elements. We are or are we over inhabitants of the earth which requires more of everything. Businesses that build are over consuming the land & the animals are being displacing. Do really need to consume more land to build stuff on? Over population adds to the over consumption of land & resources. Look at what we did to the American Indian in America.

Once you consume to the point that you cannot keep up with it. You then have an issue with all food and water and natural resources. You see in some movies where aliens are coming to earth for resources they have depleted elsewhere, or they are jumping from planet to planet for resources. This is what happens when you over consume whether it is land, food products or earth elements. Where does it stop and what does it do for the generations to come. How much time does the earth have left at the current consumption rate of all populations. Consume, Consume , Consume!!! Look at what you have in your homes/apartments & cars. What do you really need to exist in the world. Are you here on this earth to just consume like a virus? What do you give back to the earth? So I say again When is enough enough? When is enough enough?
