sufficiency
Sufficiency is the magical incantation under which one convinces oneself that "what we have is enough", conveniently justifying laziness. Celebrated in sustainability circles, it remains an undefinable murmur—everyone recites it, nobody explains it. It promises ethical fulfillment and future safety, yet often serves as an excuse to maintain the status quo. Under the banner of reducing consumption, it ironically fuels indulgence in the comforting lie that no more effort is required.
