Less is More

In conjunction with the Casserole of Ideas, I needed to share another underlying and driving concept. It began with the principle “less is more.” While at first glance and in the sing-song voice of selling ideas, concepts, thoughts, or a great meal, “less is more” rings true, under closer examination it misses its mark. Less is not more. It never can be; it is less. Less of anything, from a glass of milk and an Oreo cookie to a well-written novel, does not give you more. Think about it: a balance occurs, a relationship, an intermingling, which when less is given, more cannot be had.
