Sustainability is not just about technology, it's about creating a whole new ecosystem.
Society can and does execute its own mandates, and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself.
译文:人能克制自己的欲望就没有灾祸,做事不欺瞒别人就会睡得安稳。赏析:欲望太多,总有得不到的时候,得不到就会不择手段,肆意妄为,从而给自己带去灾祸。靠欺骗的方式立身处世的人将失去众人的信任,最终将无法在社会上立足。
