what is the proper limit to wealth?
People in our society give too much value to property, to having stuff. We have and long for too many things that tie us to debt, and work, and compromises with others. While in work, in a certain sense, we don't 'own our bodies' and must sometimes do things we don't agree or like which decreases your liberty. Seneca, in his second letter to Lucilius, said: "Do you ask what is the proper limit to wealth? It is, first, to have what is necessary, and, second, to have what is enough." We just bloat what we mean by necessary, and consider a wise position to assume that it's never enough.
