when is enough.. enough?

ATTENTION: for joy.. I saw your blog title just now (enough is enough) and I remembered something from the past. hahahha.. so I decided to re-post this entry just because I think it somehow connects to what you have written.. hahaahha!!! peace!

remember? it was us who's talking and asking the question when is enough.. enough?!


here it is..

DATE: JAN. 22, 2008

out of boredom and nothing to talk about me and friend came up with an interesting thing to do. its giving answers and sensible explanations to non-sense questions.. doing it more often gives us a chance of seeing and giving attention to things that we usually ignore. little things that we think cannot affect us but in the long run we end up realizing that it is something that lightens our minds.

my friend once asked me the question.. when is enough.. enough? how can u say it is enough when you really want to pursue it. how can u say enough when you can still hold on? how can u say enough when after a while you still want to try?

well.. there are a lot of things in life that we always want to end up. we always say the word enough.. maybe a thousand times but still seeing yourself imprisoned with those moments. i actually answered her question and said.. enough is enough when people get tired, it is enough when one cannot hold on anymore, it is enough when you are hurt and don't want to feel the same thing again. it is enough when you have nothing to give, enough is when people feels unhappy within a certain thing/situation and that's it! people have enough of everything that causes pain and suffering..

o well.. well.. that was my initial answer but then she raised another question.. she said.. "so how would you know that you are tired? that you cannot hold on anymore, that you have nothing to give (coz people always have something to give, in any kind, in any way) or when can you say that you have enough of everything..? well.. i kept silent for a moment trying to find the answers to those questions. Sad thing though, I end up with a hanging question which i cannot formulate any answers to it..

weeks after that i was able to recall that same question. and the answer just popped into my mind at 3:00 in the morning.. WHEN IS ENOUGH... ENOUGH?

the only thing i can say is.. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ONLY WHEN YOU ARE BEING UNFAIR TO OTHERS...

i don't know if it really fits the question but that's one thing that i really learned from it...;o)

*hahaaha.. what do u think?!
