Why cultivate the mind?
A land is more fertile the more variety of crops it harbors
There are minds that are like monocultures (lands where only one type of vegetable is grown). They have a lot of information, but little variety.
Although it seems that there are a large number of plants growing on the surface, the land where they grow is impoverished until it ends up dry and without nutrients.
If we look at nature, we can see that a land will be more fertile the more it is the vegetation that grows on it. And the same is true of the mind.
But, what is really acculturation? Is it the same to know many things as to be highly educated? What should we sow in our minds to reap what makes us happy?
Real culture is based on a wide repertoire of options
As we have already seen, our mind becomes rich, abundant and more fertile to the extent that we introduce more different elements into it, which also helps us to expand our awareness of the world and its different facets.

Cultivating our mind is our responsibility.
In it we must sow everything we want and with great variety, since different thoughts provide us with different tools to manage the different circumstances that we will find throughout life.
