@gdinwiddie@mastodon.social I cherish that Joseph Heller quote about having enough. I wish I felt secure enough to endorse it for myself.

@gdinwiddie@mastodon.social I've "HAD" enough for quite some time. And I'm sure I'm not alone. #Enough

@gdinwiddie@mastodon.social The most saintly person I have ever known was my grandparents gardiner. He and his wife are buried right next to Joseph Heller. Great trio.

@gdinwiddie@mastodon.social there’s a great line in one of the His Dark Materials books. It says ‘Will looked up into the face of this man who had so much that he wanted even more’.

@gdinwiddie@mastodon.social I think Madonna said, when asked what she wanted "More".

@gdinwiddie@mastodon.social Thank you for sharing this! It helped me realize I am getting close to having "enough," too. It's a nice thought to have about myself. #enough https://mrflash818.livejournal.com/317893.html

@gdinwiddie@mastodon.social I recently saw an Elon Musk interview where he talks about his obsession with winning. Apparently that's what he can't get enough of.

@gdinwiddie@mastodon.social You probably have more than your fair share. If you’re white and American, most likely you have 10x more than your fair share. And it’s all stolen.

@siim@social.osur.ee 2025-10-26 23:22
@gdinwiddie@mastodon.social At that level, it's not about enough is it.. It's always been about having more than your peers. At one point in ones life who does this for a living, it's become a game where the goal is to have as much as possible in the end

@gdinwiddie@mastodon.social I read a Michael Moore book, and he said his favorite thing was to be seated next to CEOs on a plane and ask them what enough profit was. He said their heads would explode.

@gdinwiddie@mastodon.social what is this book’s title and author?

@ProfundumPhoto@toot.community 2025-10-27 01:52
@gdinwiddie@mastodon.social From the Dao De Jing, Chapter 46: …知足之足，常足矣 Something like “They who know that enough is enough, always have enough.”

@gdinwiddie@mastodon.social I've been wondering questioning just that lately. As trump continues to cash in on this presidency for personal gain, I wonder how long a fat assed dementia fart blower like him will live? I mean, come on.....

@gdinwiddie@mastodon.social Even if they owned the entire universe, it wouldn't be enough. Never enough to fill the hole in a rich person's soul.

@gdinwiddie@mastodon.social Heller is such a character.

@gdinwiddie@mastodon.social @ez@chaos.social I find it fascinating. As I recall Saint Paul gave similar advice, saying that the way to be rich was to "Be content with what you have."

@gdinwiddie@mastodon.social I've been saying for a while now, to any who'd listen: Don't be grateful for what you have. Instead, be grateful for what you can share. Nobody has to go without.

@gdinwiddie@mastodon.social Will I ever read enough science fiction? Have enough love? See enough basketball games? For those who crave money, it isn't the amount that matters: it's the process. Heller is saying he had enough money. I take him at his word. But would he have said he had enough writing?
