Wow! This particular sentence hit the point you have been saying all along
In my opinion, holisitic living preceeds sustainability in the sense that if you as an individual does not develop the ability and habit to bond with nature while balancing the energies that comes to life, it would be difficult to translate this to the bigger society and the world at large thus sustainability might be impossible.
Holistic living will determine the sustainability of everything we want in life. Thank you for posting your thought.
