「不够」vs. 「太多」

最近讀書讀到一篇有趣的文章。部分原文為：

"The 'law of scarcity' was construed by economists to denote the technical assumption that man's wants are great, not to say infinite, whereas his means are limited..."

如果這話没錯，那我們現在面對的就不是一個「不够」的問題，像屋子不够大，衣服款式不够多這種問題。我們面對的是一個「太多」的問題，慾望太多的問題。 從上星期某時裝店開幕的盛况看來, 屋子不够大有可能是因為衣服款式太多的關係吧？
