Throughout millennia most problems have been solved
By addition of an innovative product or idea, but to resolve
Most problems in daily life it appears we need
Not to add but subtract various things indeed..
*
If trouble getting good sleep is a major issue
Subtracting time on electronic devices is what one should do
If excessive weight is a problem one has to face
Food is what one needs to subtract and replace
If people feel inadequate by comparing themselves to others endlessly
Then subtracting time spent consuming social media content is key
If burnout at work threatens to knock on the door
One needs to subtract responsibilities, instead of accepting more
When societal expectations weigh one down
They should be thrown away before one drowns..

Our ingenuity has allowed overabundance in our lives
But we are adapted to scarcity, so we do not always thrive
Well in the milieu of excess that is all around
Therefore ways to get rid of that excess must be found!
