DAY 76
Admonitions on Governing the People
牧民心書
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
How am I using the small power and responsibilities entrusted to me?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I first opened this book, written by Dasan Jeong Yak-yong in exile, I realized that the "shepherding of the people" he speaks of is not the charge of politicians alone. At work, at home, or in the smallest gathering, every one of us stands in a place where we touch the lives of others. He demands at once compassion toward those in our care and rigorous self-discipline. Read again today, it asks with weighty force how easily a person wavers once power is in hand, and what inner standard might set that crookedness straight.
