More Precious Than Gold

We are used to valuing almost everything in our lives. Our time and actions as well as the material things surrounding us are measurable. Our days are spent talking, reading, watching, and listening. We communicate and exchange information. Our lives are stuffed with various kinds of data and material. We are hungry for more information and we never seem to get enough. Why?

Because it is easy. We are lazy and do not bother to do anything ourselves. We'd rather recycle and consume something already made. We are even proud of how many details and how much information we can recollect, store, and process. Very nice but unfortunate as well. In other words, we do not create anything new—we recycle.

What is the most scarce and rare resource around us? Actually it is so common that if we used it even in tiny fractions of its entire potential, things would not be the same again. Sadly, this seems to be so hard that barely anyone has the guts to practice it on a continual basis.

Just think.
