Who are the people that are most able to help the world?
What characterizes them and how they go about living their lives?
We all know people who are significantly unhealthy. Do any people in particular come to mind? Any that are mentally, emotionally, psychologically or physically unhealthy? Several come to mind for me, in both my local context and at a political or celebrity level.
Not to say that such people can’t get anything done, but they often are mostly unable to do very much more than advance their own interests. Whether that be a simple function of the quantity of effort it takes them to overcome something physical or the narcissism that impedes their capacity to imagine the needs of anything or anyone else around them; they are often incapable of doing much to actually help the greater world.
Unhealthy people don’t (can’t?) really help people (especially those who need help) very much.
And, so, each of us needs to learn about the kinds of things that enable us to be in a healthy state (of mind, body, and spirit). And, we each need to learn about the kinds of things that prevent us from being so.
There are some clear patterns for people in general that enable health of all kinds. And, then, there is a version of those patterns that is unique to each one of us. It is important to recognize, know, and understand how these particular versions work for each one of us — because it’s pretty obvious when a lack of this understanding individually impacts our collective understanding.
We are influenced by what is around us, and much of the time what is around us is really a choice about where we put ourselves. That choice can be subconscious, as well as conscious. Either way, we can choose (or make choices about) where we’re putting ourselves and what we are surrounding ourselves with — things that help and nurture us or things that harm and tear us down.
If you are preoccupied with your own existence, you generally end up in an unhealthy condition. Why is that?
