What is not maintained is choosing its own future.

Left alone, things develop according to whatever forces are acting on them. The garden becomes what grows fastest, the group becomes whoever speaks loudest, the habit becomes whatever is easiest. Declining to maintain something is not neutral; it is handing the outcome to circumstance. There is no version where nothing happens.

Identify something you have stopped tending and ask what it is becoming without you. Then decide whether that is acceptable. If not, a small regular input is usually enough to change the direction.
