Are you experiencing scarcity in your own life? If so, is it of time, energy, money, love,
excitement, intelligence or something else?

We know that there is an unequal distribution of resources in the world today, and has been for hundreds of years. Do you think this leads to a sense of scarcity that is deceptive or is there an absolute lack
of enough resources for everybody?
For example, it has often been said that there is enough food to feed everyone on the planet, but the
distribution system is faulty. Do you believe this? If so, how could it be corrected?
If you believe that there is absolute scarcity in the world do you think the solution is for
the population to be reduced or for more resources to be produced?
How would you accomplish either of these?
How much of your own resources would you be willing to give up to relieve scarcity in others?
Are you more concerned about not having enough, not doing enough or not being enough?
How does this affect your life?
When other people appear to be experiencing abundance in an area where you have a sense of scarcity,
how do you feel about them?
Do you let them know how you feel?
Do you think that scarcity is an inevitable result of hierarchy? If so, how would you restructure entities like the government and corporations to be non-hierarchical?
