Beauty of Life
The farmer channels water to his land, the fletcher whittles his arrows, and the carpenter turns his wood. So the wise direct their mind.
Some people attempted to do more than merely survive. There was a tradition whereby people attempted to create themselves and their characteristics as things of beauty that will live on after death.
People who choose to live their life this way were not Monks or Ascetics, they were just serious about building strong character.
The more air a man breaths-the more life a man lives.
