Enough...
Means: as much or as many as required.
When is enough?
Depends on the individual
And their thresh hold...
I look around and have seen
For many there is no limits...
Limits to the things wanted
Perhaps, not needed... just wanted...
The "want" for something newer
Even though what they have is enough
We live in times
Where we get bored quickly...
Society waves its wand
And the "Me Now " self gratification desire
Flings us into financial destruction...
I recall reading somewhere:

"The more things you own,
The more they own you."   Unknown

When is enough, enough?
Vanity and "need" seems to be a thin line in todays world...

"O ye sons of men, 
how long will you be dull of heart? 
why do you love vanity, 
and seek after lying?"         Psalm 4:3

Remove far from me vanity, and lying words. 
Give me neither beggary, nor riches: 
give me only the necessaries of life:     Proverbs 30:8

There is nothing wrong with having
But will it hurt when Christ Jesus ask you:

Jesus saith to him: If thou wilt be perfect, 
go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, 
and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: 
and come follow me.  Matthew 19:21

When is enough, enough?

He that spared not even his own Son,
but delivered him up for us all,
how hath he not also, with him,
given us all things?   Romans 8:32

Mark David Grijalva Peres
