Life without stress: custodianship as problem of youth LIFE WITHOUT STRESS: CUSTODIANSHIP AS PROBLEM OF YOUTH
“Not by the asking. Just by the circumstances. By act of God, if you like. To me it is an inescapable fact. We are the custodians of this earth where we live. Custodianship is thrust upon us. We are custodians of our children, custodians of our mate in life. Men of old accepted custodianship of water, lest the streams be polluted. Peasants care for the earth, letting the land lie fallow. Custodianship is a law of nature. If we break the law, we alienate our children, our mate grows weak, our water is polluted and the earth becomes barren.
'They say I am obsessed with it. That is all right. They say it's a burden that is not for me to carry. Carry it I will. As much of it as I can. But that is not the trouble.
'The trouble is the disturbance within me. So disturbed, so worried I cannot carry as much of the burden as I would wish.”
Many of us have our philosophical burdens. Some are burdened with the materialistic philosophy of how best to keep the economy of the country running profitably. Others ponder their own particular philosophy of God and religion. But this is a 'greenie' pondering the preservation of the earth. It is well for all of us that these matters are thought out and worked through. But if our preoccupation becomes too disturbing to us, it forms a background of stress. And, of course, if we become stressed our ability to deal with such matters is reduced.
Some other interests. If we are entirely preoccupied with one subject we lack breadth of vision. We become too intense, and the background for the development of stress is itself intensified.
A quiet time, letting our mind run quietly. A little each day. And our coping ability is so much the better. And fun!
The experience of fun helps our brain integrate the messages. Fun with our fellows, even for a little while, and the problems of it all do not seem so great. Not so great because our brain is handling things better.
