To Want is To Abundance

Is it in our best interest to want? Or not want?

To want triggers a never ending cycle of wanting, acquiring, and then wanting again.

Yet, to not want puts us at ease and some may call this “peace”. But, this also triggers an endless cycle of eliminating desires, only to want less. Is there ever an end to wanting less?

So, what about eliminating just material wants and desires that exceed survival needs? Even in nature, if we are not hunting to survive, we are gathering resources for the next drought and famine. This “abundancism” exists as an evolutionary advantage to keep us alive during harsh times. We crave for abundance because it’s our only method of preparation and survival for unexpected occurrences.

Life seems to be stable and predictable until nature decides to regress towards the mean and becomes volatile. Only then, we re-realize that nature is unpredictable, and we must be prepared at all costs.

We diligently calculate and engineer the strongest builds and infrastructures in preparation for natural disasters. But, natural disasters are too chaotic and too powerful for our infrastructures to withstands, that we can only attempt our best. Our best is to prepare for the worst using the best materials, best engineers and architects, to the best of our abilities. This is abundance.
