Honoring what you inherit
To know yourself a link: receiving from those before, passing on to those who follow.
For Confucius, and the remembrance of ancestors are the root of the virtues: knowing oneself a link between those who came before and those who will follow. This twofold attention, receiving and transmitting, gives time a depth that neither the instant nor the project affords. Today it is a counterweight to a life measured by productivity alone.
