I once thought that more money would make things better, or at least ease the road to better. More has become to mean more intangibles - peace, affection, acceptance, sunshine ... and of course, more chocolate makes my world 'more better'.
Very well spoken, AT. Perhaps the real meaning of more actually is less. Less hassle, less noise, less sensory stimulation in public places - I think you nailed it ...
The only more I ever find myself wishing for is more time. More time to enjoy my maternity leave, more time to enjoy him being small, more time to just sit down and play... more time to have a shower, more time to drink a coffee while it's still hot. And more time to catch up on my fave sixers. ;)
More hugs. Like tight, I can't breath hugs. Nothing feels better than a hug.
About Six-Word Questions
SMITH Magazine brings you an entirely new kind of six-word experience: Six-Word Questions. This is the place to pose a question to the SMITH community from, "What are your favorite Six-Word quotations" to challenging members to pen Six-Word Obituaries to the recently departed to Six-Word jokes and any other Six-Word question you can dream up. You can even request that the responses be in six words. Everyone has a question—what's yours?

I had to think about this for a while...and what I came to was, I don't often wish for "more"...but I sometimes dream of "less."There are times when there is just too much of...everything. I could do with less.

It has been said that less is more.ctgoods2 says,
Having spent a lifetime of working with what I've got, the idea of more doesn't appeal to me. I'm ok with a little this or a little that.treehugger says,
