Limitations are reality. The mythologies of becoming anything, going anywhere, and experiencing everything demo well. They deliver an endlessly realized fear of missing out.
No choice is sufficient, because each choice brings the nascent possibility of it having been slightly better. The fear that incremental improvement was not achieved.
Scarcity is no better. An entrenched belief that there will never be enough fuels competition, but stifles camaraderie. The assumption that things will never improve. The zero sum game.
The sweet spot of abundance is community. There is more than enough for all of us, and we can all live meaningful, fulfilling lives together. There’s not unlimited time, money, food, or experiences. But if we take care of each other, there will be enough.
It might even improve slightly next week.
