But smaller is not better either.
Bigger is not harder to bear than small. Each requires a different strategy to bear it well.
Bigger can be unsustainable. Smaller can also be unsustainable. Thankfully, both can also be sustainable.
Bigger is not a reward; smaller is not a punishment.
Healthy things grow. But not every healthy thing grows exactly the same. And some unhealthy things still grow.
Growing for growth’s sake is not good. But staying small for smallness’s sake isn’t either.
Scaling back may be the bet thing for health, which is needed if growth is to last long-term.
Less is more. And sometimes more is less. Other times more really is more and less really is less.
