"In a society devoted to ever-greater consumption, it is hard not to identify sufficiency with notions of sacrifice, of "doing without" or "giving things up". Such identifications are, however, misplaced.
Certainly, sufficiency implies relatively modest consumption and simplicity in personal lifestyle. But these are not motivated by abstract aestheticism or self-denial, but arise from a perception that sufficiency in consumption permits a greater emphasis to be placed on other aspects of human experience, which are actually more personally rewarding and fulfilling than consumption.
Far from entailing self-denial, sufficiency in this reading is a means of liberation. An all-absorbing concern with consumption is replaced by the pursuit of other values that lead to more happiness."
~ (Paul Ekins 1998)
