Less or More


Less is More Less is More? When you have Less you want More When you have More you want Less They say "We want what we do not have" I say "The Less we have is More than what we bargained for" It is easier to dream with Less Easier to want with Less But with More? The More you have, the More you crave Like a bottomless pit that can never be filled Like a desert missing an oasis I guess you can have More and be fulfilled Wanting only for others to have More Your desire then must be morally just To think More for others and Less for yourself Realising the imbalance and desiring More More from yourself, More from the people with Less Joy must be the answer to either Something deep down More or Less cannot change Rooted deep into your core Maybe we are born with it Maybe some have More of it than others Maybe we make the choice for it Deciding between having More or Less
