what’s enough is relative

if it was me who got the proposal, i would say “yes” right away. i don’t wanna live alone for the rest of my life.“ 

two best of friends – one got a proposal from her boyfriend and is in trouble finding the right answer for she worries about a lot of things.  the other worries about getting a boyfriend, thus, the reply.

we do have the same needs but are into different situations of satisfying that need reason why what’s enough for us differs.  it’s like a train ride.  you wait (for minutes) for a train to come and then when it’s there, you get in and you wish you could have a seat.  when you’re running to catch the train however, it’s different. it’s never a problem to never get a seat.  it’s enough being able to get in, even at the last second. the thrill of almost not making it, makes making it, a great deal of success. and you’d say, “yatta!“.

it’s enough for a family who never gets to eat 3x a day to be able to eat 3x a day. a family who eats 3x a day, would need to have some snacks in between.  those who have some snacks in between would want to dine inside fancy restaurants and have fancy foods.

education is a need. for parents who have less, a public school is enough. for those people who can afford, a private school with good facilities and really capable teachers are rather important.

for a person, a car is simply a want, for another, it is a need.

rich and poor have the same basic needs. the poor’s list are simple. the rich’s list comes with details though. and, is a little (or lot) longer.

must be nice to be able to explain in detail what you really want! must be nice to have choices.

*relative – not absolute
