Selectivity in Contemporary Lives (from Cultivating Inner Peace)
Chapter 7 - Selectivity in Contemporary Lives
from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D.
"In a complex society, a certain level of intricacy must be added into the life of each citizen in order to be able to functionally mesh with multiple social and economic gears. Simplicity in a farmer doesn’t consist in planting a monoculture. Selectivity doesn’t mean constricted, impoverished, or inviable living. Selectivity means conscious choice of what is important, necessary, and salubrious, with conscious relinquishment of what is diluting, distracting, and obfuscating. The choice is personal: live well, plant your crops, be prosperous but not festooned."
