I am forwarding this to my mom as a really interesting example of how to make conservation and ecological thinking not only sustainable but imperative! I'm also thinking that my own non-negotiable resource is my energy and enthusiasm for life. And I think I need to do a much better job of enshrining and protecting the systems that can serve that.
In my own mind, the question is how does that become a sacred duty and a source of priority above my own GDP activities, so to speak.
That's so nice of you. I look forward to getting her thoughts on this. I think Golog surprised me.
It's one of the most intriguing principles I have seen by China.
To your question about making it a sacred duty... I think you start by treating your energy like you'd treat a friend's most precious resource. You wouldn't loan a friend's prized possession to just anyone, or drain it on stuff that doesn't matter. You'd guard it. You'd get strategic about it. Maybe that means literally blocking "guardian time" in your calendar that nothing can touch, or learning to say "no" with the same conviction Golog says "no" to a mine at their river's source.
It's the ultimate switch: from feeling guilty about protecting your energy to seeing it as your most important job. You're not being selfish; you're being sovereign.
Wow, i don't deserve her. Pass my words of Gratitude to her. I think this Principle is really important not just for a Nation BUT for anyone thinking of building something with Longevity
Fascinating. Your strategic insights always deliver.
Thanks so much you are far too kind

Thank you! That is how I am working on seeing it. My mother thought the article was really fascinating and is sharing it with her academic colleagues.
