The more you have of something, the more you find fault with what you have.

There is an old adage that says that the more you have of something, the more you find fault with what you have.

For example in a society where hunger is a serious problem, people don't ask or care whether then food they have is organic or Non-GMO. If you're complaining about that, you're probably pretty well fed.

In a society where pollution is a real problem, people are focused on making sure basic water supplies are safe. If you're focused on "carbon footprints", your society probably is not producing all that much dangerous pollution.

When blacks were marching for civil rights in the 60s, they weren't spending their time talking about confederate statues or Aunt Jemina syrup. Today they are. That ells you something about the relative state of racism today was 50 years ago.

When you're trying to recreate the Garden of Eden, crabgrass becomes an "existential threat".
