Celebrating Enough

 We currently reward or celebrate or reward people who have done "big" things.

People who entertain or astonish millions of people, cure or otherwise save millions of people, feed millions of people, amass huge amounts of money or capital or power, convince billions of people to want more.

But it seems this drive for "more" is killing us:  driving climate change, pollution, conflict.

And we seem unwilling or unable to stop, all for the very best of reasons.

Thousands of young people do not flock to Hollywood so that they can become obscure; other thousands do not attend business schools so that they can learn to get by on less money; and everywhere there are not billions striving to get less.

There is no Nobel Prize for the Most Frugal Person, no Academy Award for the person with the least environmental impact, no World Championship for the most humble or selfless person.
