I don’t use powered transport for travel under 2 or 3 miles (i.e. 4km) [unless dictates require I not show up as a sweaty mess.] I do all my usual errands (e.g. grocer, barber, etc.) on foot. I’m assuming the “sustainable” is being used in the environmental sense.
I couldn’t possibly say, I’ve had so many great foods from all over the world, and my palate is not so refined as to tell great from “the best in the world.” (And I kind of doubt anyone else’s is either.) That said NIC’s “Madagascar Chocolate” ice cream is far-and-away the best chocolate ice cream I’ve ever had, and I would further say possibly the best ice cream and one of the best desserts I’ve ever had.
T-shirt and sweatpants. Of course, I’d never be able to move back to temperate climes and would have to stay in the tropics. And if it was really one outfit (vs. many copies of the same outfit) I would probably end up going nude after a year-and-a-half or so when said outfit disintegrated into its component threads. So, I’d then have to join a religion, because holy men seem to be the only ones allowed to go buck naked out in the streets without consequence. This is starting to entail more than superficial change.
(Of course, I now notice that the prompt doesn’t say one would exclusively wear this one outfit. But then I think the question becomes meaningless because I think most people — except perhaps a few “fashion influencers” and “celebrities” (quote marks are intentional) — do wear a given outfit over and over [I know I do.])
Point is: it has to be comfortable, not restrict my range of motion, not result in me being a sweaty mess all the time, and allow me to blend.
1.) Move my body often and with vigor. 2.) Eat my veggies. 3.) Rest as though it’s an essential part of the process of living (i.e. not as though it’s goofing off between “doing stuff.”) 4.) Drop anything without value, making personal development as much a process of stripping away as it is of adding to.
Oh, there are so many: Voltaire, Kusunoki Masashige, Drukpa Kunley, Diogenes (the Cynic,) and Socrates top the list.
What countries do you want to visit?
All of them, but as I’ve only hit 40-some to date, I need to prioritize. The current top of my list includes: Myanmar, Turkey, Georgia, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Uzbekistan, Madagascar, and the Maldives.
What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?
I think that would be a compass that I got thirty-some years ago.
Describe one of your favorite moments.
I refuse to play favorites. It’s bad parenting.
What is your favorite season of year? Why?
When I lived in the land of four seasons, I liked Fall because it was pleasantly cool. Now that I’m down to two, I prefer Dry Season because I don’t have to remember an umbrella.
What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?
A luxury is, by definition, something one can live without.
As I said in reply to the prompt on quotes to live by, I’m with Epictetus when he says, “Contentment comes not so much from great wealth as from few wants.”
