Funny "enough", that quote inspired me to write a book called "Enough." as a double meaning for being fed up with the world and also being satisfied with what you have.
I read this story in Jack Bogle's book called "Enough". I had no idea where I came across these other words until now, but I did use them as a intro page in my book because they were so fitting at the time:
Enough — What an eloquent word.
Enough — What a potent word.
Enough — An underused word, maybe.
Thanks for sharing.
- AlbertCory 4y agoYou're welcome. I'd forgotten where I heard it, too, but fortunately, you can just type a quote into DDG (or Google) and the top answers usually have the source.
- saulpw 4y agoAre you familiar with the Swedish word/concept "lagom"?
- AlbertCory 4y agoI was going to ask, but I do now: https://utopia.org/guide/lagom/ https://utopia.org/guide/lagom/
- thenerdhead 4y agoI had not. I wish I did when I was writing this book as it is a great word. I have heard of "moderation" (stoicism), "goldilocks" (fairy tales), balancing yin-yang (daoism/confucianism), middle way (buddhism), golden mean (aristotle), etc. I've heard of wabi-sabi recently which seems like a similar idea in Japan.
