We played a game on our discussion yesterday to illustrate the effectiveness of sustainability. We fished for popcorn on a plate using straws (use your imagination), and in each round, we only needed two to survive. But that was easy, just getting two - were we supposed to get more? Why not, if we can?
I ended up getting about ten, that I never ate. Our group failed to sustain itself. I felt so ashamed.
TA: Yeah, unfortunately our session ends right at lunch time so everyone's hungry for popcorn...
Earning enough just to get by; eating enough just to get by; living enough just to get by. Why then do we push ourselves?
What makes us happy?
I need to push myself, but not for my own profits because that's not where happiness lies, am I right?
