Money-Money-Money! – That Old Song Runs Around in My Head
“‘At a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island, Kurt Vonnegut informs his pal, Joseph Heller, that their host, a hedge fund manager, had made more money in single day than Heller had earned from his wildly popular novel Catch-22 over its whole history. Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have . . . enough.’
Enough. I was stunned by the simple eloquence of that word—stunned for two reasons: first, because I have been given so much in my own life and, second, because Joseph Heller couldn’t have been more accurate.
For critical elements of our society, including many of the wealthier and most powerful among us, there seems to be no limit today on what enough entails, p 37.
Worth thinking about isn’t it? What is enough? Do we have enough?
