What is "enough" to you? "Enough has lots of meaning. To me, first when I think of enough I think of I have never always been "enough". Here "enough" means "satisfaction." Here it means I have never always feel satisfied? hahahha you can think beyond it later on... Secondly, it made me think of ' Have you got "enough" of me? ' hahaha here it means boredom. Happens when your spouse or girl boyfriends or hubby or wifey become quiet all of a sudden or become less interested... hehe.. Thirdly I think of being overwhelmed from studies, works or noise or just crappy conversation in the classroom. Especially the crappy convo in the classroom between my classmates. They always never stop talking even for hours and makes the classroom sounds like a fishmarket. Whenever I got out of it it gave me dizzyness. I'd just sound "ENOUGH" if I could. hehehe So far in my life, I have not feel too "enough" yet. I have so much more to experience and explore and it is almost hard to feel "enough" because whenever I reached a goal I feel enough for a monent then I make new goals.. here my " enough" means I have "enough" of my life that means too I can go to die when I have "enough".. okay just kidding.. but it is one of the meaning of "having enough".... hehehe.." I wrote about this on another site. Would like to know what my fellow mylotters thoughts. "ENOUGH??" What does it mean to you? Share your thoughts..

That is enough of "enough". Here enough means only enough and nothing else. I mean your words are enough to fill all the holes with enough and it is enough to get enough confusion and would take enough try to get enough meaning of this word enough. My God, I have enough and I can't write even a single word. Enough is enough.

Hi, Lovesummer! Enough means different things at different times. Most of the time, though, it means not being needy. That's not just a fiancial thing; we all need spiritual, physical and emotional things as well as sufficient money to pay the bills. There's no way I could ever learn enough, but there aren't many othr things that aren't fairly easy to get enough. As I get older, I realize having more than enough would be nice, but if it doesn't happen, it isn't important. Enough feels good all over!

enough is never enough. or so some people say. I guess it depends on what you are talking about. I would agree that enough would probably mean satisified. Or if you have had enough then you are fed up.

"Enough" has different meanings to different people, because I think that it's a word that can have several different meanings, depending on how you want to look at it. For me, "enough" means that I have enough of something to satisfy me, to make me happy, or at least content, of what I have. When someone says "enough, this is what I think of, because it's how i 'read' the word.

To me it means I am ready to start thinking of something else. Enough means I want change from what ever has happened before.

Hi lovesummer! In my oppinion, enough mean satisfy with something. In the other hand, enough can be a best time to end something. I mean like this, if we bake a cake, it is enough to bake it 30 minutes. That's how I think about enough. If less than the time, we can not get a good cake, otherwise we get this cake burnt. Hehe.

You pretty much covered most of the meanings of ENOUGH. At least the ones where I would have defined in my life as well. Interesting how a simple single word can mean so many things when used in different context, doesn't it?

i have come to the point in life that i just had enough. it came too early i think. cause mine was not easy life. i had experienced so many things and lost so many important opporunities in life. there are not much good things that have happened in my life. and the one of the few good things that happened to my life i have lost too. but at least the most important things in my life is still with me though. and that matters now.

I rarely use the word. The only times I have, is when I've had it with something going on. Then I get mad and say, "ENOUGH!" Usually when kids are driving me nuts. They know when I say that word, tone it down till the crazy lady cools off!

Well for me ENOUGH is something which i feel i will never find in my life. Because day by day the necessities and needs are getting more and more and even the expectatations are increasing, when the increase in the many things in our day by day life is constant, we cant put a full stop to our wishes and aims a full stop called ENOUGH. The day i say enough wil be the day when this world says, ENOUGH i am not going to increase my needs from now. And we all know this world wil never say ENOUGH. And you might wonder now why am i talking about the world when the discussion is all about what does ENOUGH mean to me, i am speaking about the world just because my ENOUGH in my life depends on the worlds' ENOUGH. For example day by day there is a constant increase in the prices of various products around us, if we need to get althose products for our own use then we have to be financially indepentdent by increasing our financial stability constantly, if we think is ENOUGH then we cant get all those things which we were using yesterday, because those products which were used yesterday, this day it would have increased in cost, but just because we thought enough we would not have improved in our financial status. Ok if you ask me regarding personal life, what is enough, then i can say that there might be some enough in my personal life, because once my life partner accepts all goods and bads in me and accepts me completely as his life partner and even if the same thing happens with me also, then at that point we can stop the search of life partner of our life and say ENOUGH searching, he/she is the one for whom we were searching all these days. So in terms of my personal life, ENOUGH always has a place.

generally, enough for me is when we put things into stop because its either we're fed up already or we had too much. and its also when we have already everything that we want that its time to be contented.

The most often that I use this word is in the idea of "you need to step back and go away beccasue I have had enough of your nonsense" I like to use the word suficient when it comes to the idea of satisfied, or needs being met.

Many people believe that they will be happy once they arrive at some specific goal they set for themselves. However ,more often than not,once you arrive "there" you will still feel dissatisfied ,and move your "there" vision to yet another point in the future.By always chasing after another "there".You are never appreciating what you already have right "here" So I suggest you try to imagine what you life would be like if you lost all that you you had.This will surely remind you of how much you do appreciate it... So I think I alreadly have enough .There is no better than here....

It means having all needs covered, to me. To want, in this sense, for nothing. Or at least to have near this accomplished. Now "enough" to me, is not just to have this for myself, but for those around me. Granted, I'm willing to give up my "enough" for those around me...but that's all I really want. To have enough.

Good day... Enough for me is simply means enough. I mean it has to do with excess either in good or bad aspect. The saying anything in excess is poison so maybe that's when the word enough been invented.
