Scarcity was the first word I learnt
in my boring economics course
It taught me about unlimited human wants
in a world with limited resources
As such, scarcity results in trade offs
where we have to prioritize our "needs"
It also leads to competition for resources
which can instigate unscrupulous deeds
And scarcity makes us believe that
we cannot have the cake and eat it
But why should we fear that we will starve
if we believe that He will provide for every bit
So the perceived problem of scarcity
is essentially the problem of greed
If we put a limit to our wants
and be contented with our daily feed
I assure you, there will be more than enough indeed.
