Space

If you live in a country with 7,107 islands, 88,706,300 people, and a total land area of 300,000 km², when do you sit back and say you have enough space to inhabit, till and stow as your own? Would one distinguish whether the craving for space is all about the simple joy of ownership or whether its something more noble like stewardship? What if one cannot separate the ideals behind every act of ownership yet has the money to buy land? Who says no, you've got enough.

If anyone can give answers to these questions then it will be of great help to many Filipinos who need a reminder or two of what is enough and what amount of property would sustain a single Filipino life. That way there would be answers to this insatiability I see around me. That way those whose only property claim is a pot of soil planted with "sili" or "kamatis" can likewise begin laying claim to their rightful space. That way, everyone knows when enough is enough!

Tell me.
