Learning What is Good For the World

 


Waldemar Finke - Shepherdess with Herd at the Alps During Sunrise,1908.


"We have lived our lives by the assumption that what was good for us would be good for the world. We have been wrong. We must change our lives so that it will be possible to live by the contrary assumption, that what is good for the world will be good for us. And that requires that we make the effort to know the world and learn what is good for it.” 
Wendell Berry
