Fuss
Making too much fuss of talent causes hard feelings.
Having too much incites theft.
Too many choices, too much stuff, decreases our ability to value what we have.
We live best by eating enough, and not filling our lives with trinkets,
Working our bodies, not straining for approval.
If we are satisfied with our basic needs, and the work of our hands,
How can we be tricked out of what we have?
Do what is necessary, there will be plenty.
Another broad response.
Vicious Circle. A chain of circumstances, in which the solving of a problem creates a new problem which makes the original problem more difficult of solution.
In logic, the fallacy of proving one statement by another which itself rests on on the first for proof.
-Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, 1963 p. 934.
I think I am, at heart, a Fortean Taoist. I believe in the inexpressible and the damned data, in as much as I can be said to believe in anything I don't know, or for which there is no hard evidence.

re basic needs, too much stuff etc - I increasingly feel the truth of this the older I get - the desire to shed what isn't necessary. And wonder if it is because I am, so to speak, on the home run.
