    A question of "Enoughness" offered by Alfred


    Alfred Kelberry: do you guys feel like you need a bigger house and a bigger car?
    stevenaia Michinaga: no, actually
    druth Vlodovic: why?
    stevenaia Michinaga: would love smaller "things"
    stevenaia Michinaga: sometimes it;s simply enough
    stevenaia Michinaga: and more get;s you very little
    stevenaia Michinaga: most of the times more is a way to impress others
    stevenaia Michinaga: or go a bit faster
    stevenaia Michinaga: (lacking patience)
    Alfred Kelberry: good to know, though rather expected answer given enlightened members of pab :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: everyone has their own answer, what's yours?
    Alfred Kelberry: most people are drawn into "more" and "bigger" though, it seems
    stevenaia Michinaga: perhaps shinny things?
    Alfred Kelberry: stev, i like things to be cosy :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: not sure there would be any more satifaction in that
    Alfred Kelberry: despite the size
    stevenaia Michinaga: but cosy can be very small
    Alfred Kelberry: or big
    stevenaia Michinaga: more pillow just gets you lost
    stevenaia Michinaga: not more cosy
    Alfred Kelberry: ah, cosy and functional - there


    --BELL--


    stevenaia Michinaga: I live in a small house in a big neighborhood
    stevenaia Michinaga: but it's just fine
    stevenaia Michinaga: roses and birds make it quite complete
    Alfred Kelberry: lovely :)
    Alfred Kelberry: i hope there will be a shift to roses from greed in peoples pro-capital mindsets
    stevenaia Michinaga: I remember someone said that you never get "full" with more money, so you never have enough
    stevenaia Michinaga: if that's what you want
    Alfred Kelberry: true
    druth Vlodovic: maybe it's the appetite switch thing
    Alfred Kelberry: it's just that your bar is set up higher
    stevenaia Michinaga: exactly, you know when to stop eating
    druth Vlodovic: missing something- so you try to "fill up" with whatever you can lay hands on
    stevenaia Michinaga: no, but with some thing there is a built-in limit in your mind/body
    Alfred Kelberry: i think until the social guides are altered, the context we live in, it will only deteriorate
    Alfred Kelberry: occupy was a good attempt in awakening
    stevenaia Michinaga: it is not over
    Alfred Kelberry: yes, hopefully. it gave a lot of thought to people. sort of opened their eyes on possible alternatives.
    druth Vlodovic: protesting isn't enough though
    stevenaia Michinaga: I have always found optimism tends to energize change, pessimism is the easy and less creative way out
    druth Vlodovic: you have to do something, figure out what you want, plan it out, and implement it
    Alfred Kelberry: how is the tea party doing? do you think they have a chance to become the 3rd political power?
    Alfred Kelberry: stev, true
    Alfred Kelberry: read an article on it, actually. quite profound.
    Alfred Kelberry: druth, yes. it was not very structured. but did move the ball nonetheless.
    stevenaia Michinaga: always hard to understand how a following is created
    stevenaia Michinaga: sometimes it's a word, other times it's simply a the right moment
    stevenaia Michinaga: but moments change too
    Alfred Kelberry: stev, could be an interesting topic: how following is created


    --BELL--


    stevenaia Michinaga: yes, we seems to enjoy "following' PaB in it's ever changing forms
    stevenaia Michinaga: any thoughts on that ?
    Alfred Kelberry: um...
    Alfred Kelberry: oh, i can hear the ball :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: time to go, it;s been a long week
    druth Vlodovic: bye steve
    stevenaia Michinaga: night Druth, Boxy
    stevenaia Michinaga: as they say on the radio, I;ll take the answer offline
    stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    Alfred Kelberry: poof
    Alfred Kelberry: guess the meeting is adjourned
    druth Vlodovic: looks like it
    Alfred Kelberry: ok, be good :)
    druth Vlodovic: I won't do anything you wouldn't do :)
