In Living, We Sustain: The Philosophy of Breath and the Path of Breath Journal

Circulation of Environmental Systems and Resources (Breath as Cycles)

Environmental issues cannot be solved merely by individual choices or one-time actions. They are problems of circulation created by the systems and structures of society. For example, more important than an individual's act of refusing a plastic cup is the efficiency of the recycling system and restructuring the circulation of energy production through solar and wind power.

When discarded waste is reborn as resources, inconvenient regulations are transformed into achievements, and the efforts of one generation are passed on to the next, sustainability finally becomes a reality. Breath Journal records this structural circulation. It reveals the movements of systems that are not easily visible, testifying to how the foundation of our lives changes and continues.

Inner Circulation of Stopping and Healing (Breath as Healing)

Life does not constantly demand growth alone. When we fall, we must get back up, and when we are tired, we must pause for a moment. Those moments of stopping and healing are not expressions of weakness but of human dignity. For instance, a breath in meditation, a deep breath in a counseling room, and a recovery period in a hospital are all breaths of healing. Modern society often treats those who stop as lagging behind, but we say that this time is a way to uphold human worth. Breath Journal records the inner breath. When moments of pain and loss pass, and comfort and solace approach, life continues again. The time of recovery is the time of dignity.

Tradition of Respect and Reverence (Breath as Continuity)

Tradition loses its life when it is turned away from simply because it is old. However, when viewed through the lens of respect and reverence, tradition connects to today. For example, Hanji craft is used in modern architecture as an eco-friendly material, and traditional fermentation methods are being rediscovered as global health foods. Without being forced, when the gaze of respect touches it, tradition blooms again with elegance. This is similar to the inner self. Just as one discovers their own value when they respect themselves, tradition also comes to life in respect. Tradition is not a shadow of the past but a light that continues as the breath of the present.

Media that Records Circulation — Journalism of Breath

“In living, we sustain.”

This phrase does not simply mean survival. It is the language of breath, the flow of circulation that connects life and death, stopping and growth, forgetting and remembering. With every breath we take, we confirm our existence, and that existence leads to sustainability. Within the structure of the environment, in the process of inner recovery, and in the elegance of tradition, we see the continuity of life. Breath Journal records this circulation. And that record is the path of journalism we believe in.
