If we find it so difficult maintaining our god-given – largely self-regulated – body, we are undoubtedly going to find it tough to maintain things that we create ourselves.
On the other hand, if we don't create anything, there's nothing left to maintain than our own bodies. Which is what our ancestors did thousands of years ago.
Therefore it's impossible that we don't create. We have to, we have been and we always will. The standard questions then are: what, how, how much?
I won't answer 'what'. I won't answer 'how much'? But let me try and hint at an answer to 'how'.
The first picture is Oberoi Mall in Goregaon, a structure in glass, steel and cement. Fully enclosed and centrally air-conditioned. Now have a look at the second one. That's Nirmal Lifestyle in Mulund. An open, self-ventilated mall which accommodates a few trees as well. Your guess which one will be easier to maintain and sustain.
Creating is a one-time act. Maintenance is an everyday act. If maintenance is easy, there are greater chances that the creation will exist for long.
