Abundance Isn’t the Answer

Abundance is the problem.

I get the sentiment.

The abundance crowd means well.

They want more choices, more energy, more access.

More yes.

Less no.

Abundance is still framed inside a scarcity worldview.

In order for there to be abundance,

there must be scarcity.

Otherwise, abundance wouldn’t feel like more.

It wouldn’t feel like anything.

Abundance is not answer.

It’s preference.

Subjective. Personal.

When abundance comes in a form we like,

we call it freedom.

When it comes in a form we don’t,

we call it complexity.

Either way, it’s too much.

Too many options.

Too many inputs.

Too many priorities

pretending to matter equally.

Too much toomuchness.

It is a classy problem.

It looks like opportunity.

Feels like confusion.

Acts like overwhelm.

Simplicity doesn’t come from more.

Simplicity comes from choosing.

Refining.

Discarding.

Abundance isn’t the answer.

It’s the problem framed

as preference.
