Enough

Enough. Such a powerful expression that seldom escapes our lips.

Why say it not?
Because to say it would mean we've reached our limit, and to have reached our limit puts us face to face with our worst fear of being inadequate, powerless to get more if not have it all.

Why say it then?
Because to not say it means we are succumbing to fear that the oppression would only get worse, that we are powerless to stop it.

Two sides, same coin. Strength on the one side, weakness on the other. Both reside inside us.

So when is enough, enough?

When you're haggling over money you don't even need, enough is enough.

When you're badly beaten and can no longer roll with the punches, enough is enough.

When you're loving someone who can never love you back, enough is enough.

When you've been promised the world but only got dirt, enough is enough.
