The abundance involves lot exists and that you have something .
Large quantity that exists or something is available
What is abundant will be said to be abundant, meanwhile, what abounds may be issues that affect someone's reality, either positively or negatively, including money, work, poverty , among others.
Now, it can be applied to both material and abstract questions.
The other side of it is the so-called scarcity , a situation in which what is needed is lacking.
Economic situation in which needs and more can be satisfied ...
On the other hand, the term abundance allows to describe that economic situation in which all human needs can be satisfied , that is, having a large sum of money will be able to access the good or service that you want.
It is precisely a concept that is used very frequently in the economic field, for example, when it is said of someone who lives in abundance what they are wanting to express is that they have a great material wealth that facilitates access Unrestricted to any type of goods.
When someone lives in abundance, they do not pay attention to how much they spend on one product or how much the other costs, they buy it and that's it because they have excess resources , meanwhile, in opposite scenarios such as the scarcity that we just mentioned, there is not even available a sum to be able to satisfy the most basic needs.
This is why this concept is commonly used as a synonym for prosperity and well-being.
Regarding those people who live in the framework of economic prosperity, we must say that there are some common and widespread questions.
Main questions to economic abundance
In principle, the one that revolves around the way in which so many economic resources were obtained , that is, if they come from a legal origin, or failing that, such could be the latter case of political corruption .
Of course in this situation there will be a great rejection of that abundance that someone has.
But there is also strong opposition and questioning of material abundance by those who subscribe to that position that rejects the exploitation of natural assets and excessive consumerism.
Prosperity in Greek mythology
The aforementioned economic prosperity has a symbol that represents it and this is precisely the so-called horn of plenty or cornucopia , whose graphic symbol is a horn-shaped glass .
The origins of this symbol date back to the 4th century BC , more precisely to Greek mythology ... legend has it ... that Amalthea (the nymph who knew how to be Zeus' nurse and therefore was in charge of her care) created Zeus with the milk from a goat, as a way of gratitude , Zeus, gave Amalthea the horns of a goat that enjoyed the power to fulfill the wishes of the people who possessed them.
Use in chemistry and rhetoric
The natural abundance is the amount of each isotope of a chemical element that exists in nature and is expressed in percentage. While the natural abundances of each isotope will allow to calculate the atomic mass of each element.
Whenever you want to isolate a natural element, you must first know its abundance, then this will be the amount that exists in a specific region of the world. The abundance of elements on earth and in the different regions that make up the planet is the product of the evolutionary history of that specific earth.
Another area in which the term abundance is common and has a special use is in rhetoric , since in this context abundance is the same as saying that there is a wealth of thoughts or ways of expressing oneself , that is, when an individual expresses himself using a broad vocabulary, denoting their culture and enlightenment. The baroque conceits is one of the literary movements that best fit the feature mentioned.
Popular expressions
For its part, the term abundance participates in very popular expressions, such as: in abundance (a lot). " Your son eats in abundance, he is going to hurt him "; in abundance (who has a lot of money, who is in an excellent financial situation). " So much abundance, trips, new cars and a new house, have made the young artist dizzy ."
Astronomy: name of an asteroid
And in the field of astronomy abundantia is the name that it was decided to give to the asteroid that in 1875 was discovered by Johann Palissa from the Croatian city of Pula , but it was not exactly Palissa who named it that way but actually the name of abundantia is due to Edmund Weiss, director of the Astronomical Observatory of the city of Vienna .
