Enough is enough and too much stinks! Did everyone’s mother say that or was it just mine?
Enough is a very relative word
Condescending yet satisfying
Controlling but desperate
Enough is obviously subjective and elusive
Tragic and ultimately mind numbing
Enough is never- you fill in the blank
I’ve had enough of this futile word
Okay, I lied. I sort am back to blogging just easing my way back in.
ReplyDeleteEnough is exactly as you listed it with being subjective. "Have you had enough to eat?" will give different answers by everyone asked that question. Kind of like when you go to the doctor and they ask you about your pain on the pain scale of 1-10 with 10 being extreme pain, etc. I might say my pain is a 6 whereas someone who has the same amount of pain might give it a 3. So again subjective.
Just like the word enough. My mom didn't say that "enough is enough and too much stinks" but I have said "enough is enough is enough for me at least."
betty
Oh yay!!!! I was looking to see if you were blogging- I always enjoyed yours!!!
DeleteI tend to use the word when I'm fed up with something. In thinking about it I don't say the 'too much' piece as often.
ReplyDeleteMe too- hope you’re doing well Joyce!
