THE HUNTER NEVER PLUNDERS HIS WORLD, BUT TAKES FROM IT ONLY WHAT HE TRULY NEEDS, WHILST TENDING TO IT WITH WARMTH AND CARING FOR IT WITH LOVE - IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER HIS WORLD CONSISTS OF PEOPLE, ANIMALS, PLANTS, POSSESSIONS OR POWER. IN THIS RESPECT THE HUNTER IS INTIMATELY FAMILIAR WITH HIS WORLD, YET HE ALSO REMAINS DETACHED FROM IT. BEING DETACHED FROM HIS WORLD, THE HUNTER REMAINS INACCESSIBLE TO THAT WORLD, AND DOES NOT DISTORT IT BY MANHANDLING IT. THE HUNTER TOUCHES HIS WORLD LIGHTLY, ENJOYS IT FOR AS LONG AS HE NEEDS TO, AND THEN WITHDRAWS, LEAVING BARELY ANYTHING DISTURBED.

Great blog! Don't stop now. Keep the aphorisms coming. Just a friendly reminder to watch the typos though. You misspelt "whether" as "weather".
ReplyDeleteThanks Dennis, I am glad you like it. The spelling mistake is now corrected :)
