Concept.
Do we ever ask ourselves, about ' <I><B>borrowed view </B></I>' - I mean - do we ever ask;
who's view or who's idea, have I borrowed and who really owned it in the first place ?
who provided it, in the first instance; from the beginning ?
Displayed on or behind our concrete jungles.
Are we, in fact, not ALL of US, just borrowers - to a ...............
Share & Care
That's the spirit.........so do we do so with Existing, Extant or even Non-Existing ?
Real nature is subject to the ' ravages of time.'
Purposed correctly, yet, through imperfection and interference of generations of lesser or greater extant......
The view is quite often changed, for successive generations to come.
Hardly ' Futureproofed.'
Why then, way back then, did wise scholars like Qian Yong & Qu Yuan - tell of things;
such as " Record of My Non-Existent Garden." ?
Was it just to satisfy, personal obsessions, without the means to create them;
or was it indeed, far more redolent ?
To preserve them, for all time, to come.
Lest we forget.
The artistic and literary representations in the continuum;
for interested ones, to view.
Just because we have use of a ' real ' garden today.
Always be mindful of the wiser men of the past,
" who sought reclusion from the commercial world and /or sobriety over notoriety;
to indulge their passions in the borrowed view, of nature."
