Sagesse originelle

« Consacrons une journée à vivre aussi délibérément que la Nature, sans dérailler à la moindre coquille de noix ou aile de moustique qui tombe sur les rails [...]. Si la locomotive siffle, laissons-la siffler jusqu'à ce qu'elle en ait la voix enrouée. Si la cloche sonne, pourquoi devrions-nous courir ? »
– Henry David Thoreau, dans : Wayne W. Dyer, Le bonheur selon Lao-Tseu, Guy Trédaniel Éditeur, 2009, p. 44

All streams are but tributary to the ocean, which itself does not stream, and the shores are unchanged but in longer periods than man can measure. Go where we will, we discover infinite change in particulars only, not in generals.
For my part, I could easily do without the post-office. I think that there are view few important communications made through it. To speak critically, I never received more than one or two letters in my life...that were worth the postage.
-- Henry David Thoreau (Walden)
A man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.

DIE KUNST ZU LEBEN MIT WENIGER: Das RADIKALE PROJEKT von Henry David Thoreau – Von Jenseits des Geistes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fPJzmAB2LE
In einer Welt, die uns ständig dazu drängt, mehr zu besitzen – mehr Geld, mehr Erfolg, mehr Aufmerksamkeit –, stellt dieses Video eine kraftvolle Gegenfrage: Was wäre, wenn wahre Freiheit entsteht, wenn wir lernen, weniger zu brauchen? Inspiriert vom Philosophen Henry David Thoreau, der 1845 in eine selbstgebaute Hütte am Walden-See zog, beleuchtet dieses Video die zeitlose Weisheit eines Lebens mit weniger Ballast. Thoreau lebte radikale Einfachheit, nicht aus Entbehrung, sondern aus innerer Klarheit.
