“Self-Preservation” the Quest for Sustainable Life A part of the exhibition “Chiang Mai Now!” By Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) 13.00 – 15.00 hr. Language: THAI
The fundamental law of nature, self-preservation is an instinct for individual preservation and the desire to lead a sustainable life. Often misinterpreted as self-interest, self preservation on the contrary is a desire for long term preservation of the society and environment and is achieved better in a lasting and peaceful manner by helping preserving others, and meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs. As we became civilized we isolated ourselves from the environment, others and our Multidimensional Self, ignoring the fact that Self in reality is an element of the planet. Self Preservation demands that we respect life itself and forbids sabotage of the planet, environment and the life. Self Preservation is a desire for ecological, economic and political revival, an instinct to preserve our health, mind body and soul, and cultural enhancement not only to survive ourselves but increase in value for future generations.
