Week 1: Day 7 Health Principle: Your Body as a Tool
Jan 7, 2005
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Greetings: Read Genesis: Chapters 42 - 50 __Walk 3 miles: actual miles walked _____ __Eat 5 fruits or vegetables _____ __Virtue: Temperance-eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation I've noticed another very important attitude that the long-term healthy share. |

I've met many people who suffer with physical affliction without having done anything that I can see to cause the illness. The easiest example to consider is a child with cystic fibrosis or with sickle cell disease. These illnesses represent suffering not caused by the suffering one's behavior. But when considering preventable suffering, there's a common attitude that the very healthy share: this body deserves direct time and attention. Most people, even with recent research urging otherwise, will either ignore regular exercise, or consider sufficient the minimal activity of their job- they either don't invest any time in caring for their body's health or they do not invest attention directly toward caring for the body. An example would be someone who will make time to clean the house or to wash the car but does not have time for a walk. It's as if the grass deserves their direct attention but their body must benefit as a side effect of caring for something or someone else. Another example is the mother who tells me that she doesn't need to walk because she "chases children around all day long." The child definitely deserves her caring; but the mother's body also deserves direct attention. |
