That's the Chinese word for 'enough.'  Pronounce it like 'Go!'

I don't have much to say in this entry, just thinking about the idea of enoughness.  Whatever that is.

Enough can be understand as: sufficient to meet a need or satisfy a desire.  You know that, we all do, but I am talking about the bigger 'enough.'  It comes from a Proto-Indo-European root '-nek' (to reach, to attain).

Sometimes it takes learning a word in another language to refocus and examine what the meaning really is; what is means to me.

Oh also, if you break down that chinese word into parts, here's how it goes:

句 (jù) - sentence & 多 (duo) - many.  Many sentences = enough.

Say less, mean more?
