RE: How much is enough?

I enjoyed reading this. I think we do not know how much is enough. Even when we know. Few years ago I had a plan on how to live without working if I make £120.000. Now, with much more, I am still living the same life like before, with even more work, I would say.
There is this indian concept called Aparigrapha, if I spell it corectly (probably I didn't) which says something like this:
Aparigraha-sthairye janma-kathamtaa-sambodhah. Yoga Sutras 2.39
Becoming established in non-greediness gives you knowledge of the how and why of birth (your own, others’, and the world’s).
Basically a phylosophical vision of not being greedy. You reminded me of these Yoga principles called Yama and Nyama. I think I will read once more about it.
So, thanks for inspiration.
Now I also want to read them. I hope the English translation does it justice.

So much pain in this world caused by the greed of actually just a few ultra-greedy creatures, is it any wonder that the original sins of the triumverate that run the world from between its contours have been passed down onto the rest of us? We are greedy because we have been abused and deprived of our true inherent values just for existing.
For the creatures that rule the world, do you think that merely existing enough for them? No, I think their rapacious appetites can only be explained by pits of nothing that are at the roots of all of them. They have to suck the world out of the world to give themselves any semblance of any meaning and then, when they are alone in the cinders of the world, maybe then they will be confronted with just their existance and what that actually means.
