Perhaps the single most devastating myth on earth. . .
Is that of scarcity . . .
Not enough food.
Not enough land.
Not enough water.
Not enough oil.
Not enough love . . .
Not enough of ANYTHING that's needed for everyone on earth to thrive and survive.
And of course I would be remiss not to include the MOTHER OF ALL MYTHS - that there is NOT ENOUGH MONEY to go around.
NOTHING can be further from the truth.
But, most people lack the knowledge or imagination to see through the LIES.
The problem is that this mega myth of scarcity is a self-fulfilling prophecy that destroys our lives.
Those who embrace it invariably panic and, in a mad rush, chase after every resource they can lay their hands on, before it's all taken.
The strong, the crafty, and those who get there first, hoard large swathes of resources - PILE IT HIGH AND SIT ON IT - while the weak, the honest, and the young are left struggling just to survive

But let me interject a little humorous example that i belive makes my point...
You can't tell me scarcity doesnt exist, when at a party there is 12 guys and 2 girls... For 12/14 people, there IS a scaceity...
On a global scale, not so much, in your place and time... DEFINALTY...

That takes me to my next point.
Scarcity is the eye of the beholder.
