Enough.

 The theory of enough is a concept that explores contentment, sufficiency, and the balance between need and excess. It suggests that individuals, societies, and even economies should focus on having "enough" rather than endlessly pursuing more—whether in terms of wealth, possessions, power, or achievement.

At its core, the theory of enough emphasizes:

1. Sufficiency Over Excess – Instead of accumulating beyond necessity, one should recognize and appreciate what is adequate for a good life.

2. Mindful Consumption – Excessive materialism can lead to stress and dissatisfaction, whereas knowing what is enough leads to peace and gratitude.

3. Simplicity and Sustainability – Living with "enough" promotes sustainability, reducing waste and environmental harm.

4. Personal Fulfillment – Happiness often comes from meaningful relationships, purpose, and well-being rather than relentless acquisition.

5. Economic and Social Balance – Societies that embrace the idea of enough may focus more on equitable distribution rather than unchecked growth and inequality.

This idea appears in various philosophical and religious traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Stoicism, and even modern minimalism and financial independence movements.
