life.\u003cbr\u003e However, it is an important ideal and goal that anyone who wants to live a harmonious life should naturally pursue in a satisfactory natural and social environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.17\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The purpose of our economic activities is not to make money, but to make a living.\u003cbr\u003e You can't eat money, you can't wear money, you can't sleep with money. \u003cbr\u003eMoney is merely a medium of exchange.\u003cbr\u003e It is a medium for obtaining the necessities of life.\u003cbr\u003e What matters is what we eat, drink, and wear, not the money we can exchange for it.\u003cbr\u003e And like anything else, there's a price to pay for getting money.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.36\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We can say clearly:\u003cbr\u003e If we eat what comes from nature and eat only a little of one food, there is almost nothing left for the housewife to do.\u003cbr\u003e Eat vegetables and fruits, but eat them as they are, grown in nature, with the freshness of the field, and stick to the principle of eating only one or two of them at a time.\u003cbr\u003e Then you too will agree with our argument that eating simply is good.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.160~161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This eating habit is simple, inexpensive, and helpful for your lifestyle.\u003cbr\u003e Of course, modern people in the 20th century don't usually eat like this. \u003cbr\u003eAs civilization has developed, many things have changed, and the way people eat has also completely changed.\u003cbr\u003e We have moved from a time when we obtained the necessities of life from the mountains, fields, kitchens, and family members to an era where everything is obtained through factories and large corporations.\u003cbr\u003e We brought the center axis back to the ground.\u003cbr\u003e We got food from the land and ate it.\u003cbr\u003e I also found that the food was plentiful, delicious, and nutritious.\u003cbr\u003e We didn't pay any doctor because we maintained good health by eating this kind of food.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The market economy uses loud propaganda to lure consumers into buying things they neither need nor want.\u003cbr\u003e And they force people to sell their labor to buy these things. \u003cbr\u003eSince our goal was to escape the exploitation that comes with selling our labor, we were as careful not to fall into the temptations of the market as a wise rat is careful not to fall into a trap.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This experience has reminded us that to successfully build a collaborative community, we must first achieve a common ground of spirit.\u003cbr\u003e Agreeing on the purpose and method is not enough.\u003cbr\u003e But even this was not done properly in our valley.\u003cbr\u003e For a community to continue to work together, there must be a shared spirit of acceptance among all its members.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We definitely enjoyed life in Vermont. \u003cbr\u003eBecause living in Vermont, I was always in contact with nature, knew the power of nature well and was able to adapt to it, still worked with my hands, and was not dragged into a life of strict discipline.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What makes life abundant is not possessions and accumulation, but hope and effort.\u003cbr\u003e Because we think this way, even if there is no chance of success, we will try to find a way not only for the two of us to make a living, but also for society as a whole to live well together.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---

deeply with people around the world for over half a century, has been republished in a revised edition to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Scott Nearing's death. \u003cbr\u003eIn this revised edition, you can find a new translator's note from author Ryu Si-hwa, delivered for the first time in twenty-three years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Scott and Helen Nearing, practical naturalists, vegetarians, environmentalists, pacifists, and farming activists.\u003cbr\u003e In 1932, at the height of the Great Depression, the two men, convinced that Western civilization could not guarantee a safe life for anyone, abandoned their New York life and moved to a rural village in the Vermont woods.\u003cbr\u003e The Nearings sought to overcome the pressures of society and maintain their physical health, mental stability, and sanity within society.\u003cbr\u003e All they wanted was to put down roots and live a simple, satisfying life.\u003cbr\u003e As time passes and experience grows, the Nearings develop principles and goals to uphold. \u003cbr\u003eThis book is a kind of report on the life they chose: 'a life where we help and rely on each other in nature, enjoy free time to the fullest, and each produce and create good things.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe Nearings, who resisted materialism and lived in harmony with nature.\u003cbr\u003e The principles of harmonious life they preach\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Helen Nearing, who was born into a wealthy family and once interacted with the world-renowned thinker Jiddu Krishnamurti.\u003cbr\u003e Scott Nearing, a former university professor born to a capitalist family, grew up with a deep interest in the lives of the poor.\u003cbr\u003e The meeting between the two people was eye-catching in itself.\u003cbr\u003e But what made their lives last longer in the world's memories was the twenty years they spent in Vermont, the setting of this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Nearings dreamed of a life outside the capitalist society that fosters competition, greed, exploitation, and coercion. \u003cbr\u003eThey had three goals in mind when they left the city.\u003cbr\u003e First, build an independent economy so that you can live a life free from recession.\u003cbr\u003e Second, living off the land, growing your own food, and maintaining a healthy life.\u003cbr\u003e Third, live righteously, thinking of society, and escaping from various terrible exploitations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the Vermont forests, they till the land, build stone houses, and live a simple life without owing anyone anything.\u003cbr\u003e Unlike the city, he insisted on a quiet and simple life without a telephone or radio.\u003cbr\u003e But he did not live an isolated life.\u003cbr\u003e They always thought about working for society in that space and tried to live by the principles of life that they considered most important.\u003cbr\u003e Six months of the year were spent working to make a living, and the remaining six months were spent enjoying leisure activities such as research, travel, writing, conversation, and lectures. \u003cbr\u003eAnd they always treated people who came to visit them as an open space.\u003cbr\u003e The couple lived a fulfilling life, living steadfastly and joyfully, adhering to the principle that \"life should be fulfilling.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this book, the life of the Nearings has a powerful impact on people living busy lives in the city today.\u003cbr\u003e By abandoning the city life of success and advancement, and following their path of \"having less but being more faithful\" and contributing to the world, you will discover the value of a \"harmonious life.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA way of life that allows one to live in harmony with nature, self-sufficiency, and unity.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While \"Beautiful Life, Love, and the End\" focused on the lives and love of Scott and Helen, \"A Harmonious Life\" details the lives and adventures of two people who created a village community in Vermont. \u003cbr\u003eThe Nearings take care of their own food, clothing, and shelter to ensure their lives are not shaken by the recession and unemployment.\u003cbr\u003e Vermont, with its distinct seasons and pristine nature, was ideal for realizing this alternative, and the valley became the Nearings' laboratory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Nearings' purpose in working in Vermont was not to make money, but to make a living.\u003cbr\u003e In a capitalist society, they presented a new way of life without saving money.\u003cbr\u003e They did not pay attention to comfort, convenience, and luxuries, and they protected resources and produced and consumed only what was needed.\u003cbr\u003e They made the necessities of life as much as possible by hand, and bartered with their neighbors for other necessities.\u003cbr\u003e This was also the case in building a house.\u003cbr\u003e They built the stone house by hand over 11 years using stones and rocks found in nature. \u003cbr\u003eAdditionally, the barren and harsh Vermont land was transformed into fertile soil without using any chemical fertilizers or animal waste.\u003cbr\u003e They harvested an abundance of vegetables, grains, and fruits from their fields, and when there were any leftover vegetables or grains, they shared them with their neighbors and friends as much as they needed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The book details how the Nearings settled in Vermont, how they began making maple syrup and sugar, how they built their homes, how they farmed, how they grew their own food, how they managed their household, the neighbors they met in Vermont, and what they achieved and what they didn't achieve.\u003cbr\u003e You can vividly see the Nearing couple, who are self-sufficient while also striving to make society a better place to live.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e◆ From the author's note\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Living a harmonious life.\u003cbr\u003e It has been a goal of many people for a long time.\u003cbr\u003e Scott and I have been involved in that work for the past half century. \u003cbr\u003eIn the grand scheme of things, our contribution may not have been much.\u003cbr\u003e But we started it with a serious heart and have continued it with unwavering joy for over fifty years.\u003cbr\u003e Harmonious living is best attempted by like-minded couples or groups.\u003cbr\u003e Above all, you must have a goal to achieve together and the ability and perseverance to tackle the tasks necessary for life.\u003cbr\u003e I work the fields alone, carry firewood, take care of the household, and live in nature with a sense of fulfillment and purpose.\u003cbr\u003e And so, I am ending my life with a once wonderful companion.\u003cbr\u003e Even after we leave this world, our fellow humans living in nature will continue to pursue a harmonious life.\u003cbr\u003e We hope that the efforts we put into building our homes and writing our books will be of some help to others on their paths.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e◆ From the 'Translator's Note' in the correction board\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Living in a city or building a stone house in the countryside doesn't necessarily make a difference in your life.\u003cbr\u003e Scott Nearing says that living a more correct, quieter, and more valuable life, and having time to question, reflect, and look deeply into your own life, is already a healthy life.\u003cbr\u003e It is not possessions and accumulation that make life abundant, but dreams and effort.\u003cbr\u003e A life well lived and well-spent at any moment, any day, any month, any year.\u003cbr\u003e Even now, twenty-three years after I first translated and introduced 『A Harmonious Life』, I still recommend it to everyone.\u003cbr\u003e No, it's life.
