Sufficiency Economy Philosophy: Thailand’s Path towards Sustainable Development Goals
Resumo
The objective of His Majesty’s development approach is to achieve “sustainable development” to improve people’s livelihoods without destroying the environment and to make people happy with due consideration to geographical conditions, religious beliefs, racial groups, economic and social backgrounds. Although there are various development approaches, the most important attributes of a development practitioner are love, caring, responsibility and respect for fellow human beings. It is plain to see that development directly relates to mankind and is a matter of having the right mindset.
Development work is not only about sacrifice but is also about self-interest. As humans are social animals, we all have to live together. If we lead easy and happy lives with all creature comforts while others suffer, we simply cannot go on living. Development practitioners should have a public mindset and care about others, wanting to see others have better lives and well-being.
