230925 What I learned in my studies this morning 3

Such a mammoth word:

Responsibility. So . . .

Full. Kindly regard.

Today's Meditation(s):

Thoughts:

Do for myself what I can do for myself. Delegate intelligently and responsibly. Be self-reliant. Use division of labor.

No contradiction involved. All can be true.

Just because I CAN split logs for firewood doesn't mean I should. It's worth more to me to use that time doing something else while the fella with the automatic splitter does the work in exchange for some part of my life as represented by the money I am willing to give up for it. I behave according to my preferences.

Then, on other occasions, my preference will be exactly for the meditative physical drone of the ax. Or for the exercise of it to benefit my body. Or both.

I can realize my limitations, physical and mental, and work within them to do what I need to do. Consulting experts when necessary. Partitioning work when needed. Picking up the tools myself as I can.
