Reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, I keep coming back to the idea of caring for one’s tools. I had a similar thought while watching Silo: when everyone is given the same rooms to live in, the true difference lies in how each person tends to theirs.
So I reflect on my own tools—what is it that I should be tending to? The answer is clear: my body, my mind, my time. These three require constant care. Those who tend to them with steady attention—not with obsession, but with presence—and who respond to what the moment demands, are the ones who truly succeed.
