Some would argue, we have done all we can with traditional medicine and prevention is the next best thing.
Preventative Medicine?
I believe the progenitor of all ways are the pursuit of prevention through philosophy, belief, and imagination or curiosity.
We understand through the senses, primarily sight.
We cure or prevent through thinking outside the box.
The way we do this is through belief.
The best way to believe is to theorize and practice or experiment on yourself in a way that does no harm.
Become your healthspan.
Prevent disease before it happens to you or just live a healthy life.
Pursue health wealth and well being through the senses.
Find what works for you and do it.
This all sounds rather childish without a blueprint to follow.
A good life is the practice of what works for you while doing the least amount of harm to yourself and others.
Examine or get to know yourself.
Find out what you are doing that is self destructive to you and others.
Make a sincere effort to turn those bad habits around.
While you do all the above, keep looking for what works for you and do it.
You will prevent problems in your lifestyle and Improve your healthspan.
Humour yourself and try to do it for a few weeks, reassess and convince yourself to do it again.
If you need some encouragement to continue, come back here and look for some or look somewhere you can find it and do it for another few week. Keep building this habit until it becomes a lifelong habit passion, healthspan!
Critical thinking entails much physic,much ethic, and much logic.
The death of war may bring peace, a form of peace at the very least. So,the lack of nuclear war is making the world go on a quest.
Philosophy begs us to love wisdom: do no harm and do our best. Is this another quest?
The impression that imprint upon our soul (mind) are not very different from the wars of old. We kill,slaughter, and wreck havoc, but survive to fight again.
Poverty is killing us all. Are we poor philosophers? Is peace dead to us?
I say no. I don’t want to fight, to debate. I stay away from bringing more violence to the problem.
I preach non-violence. I say there is a better way to live. Perhaps, a good life that presents the spirit of peace out in the light for all to see (If you want to walk around in the dark there is much more to see, but who in their right mind wants to go to war.).
Logic states that peace will nurture anyone willing to work for her. She is kind, calm, and silent. Do you wish for her or does she live in your mind: kind, calm, and silent?
Orange shirt day started in 2013 as a way to recognize and remember the Canadian treatment of native children in residential school and to understand the harm done at this time in the country of Canada.
These actions may be bound by our constitution. Or the political will of our country or society.
But what is a will and how can it be free?
There are wills to power and discipline.
This last statement allows a certain kind of permission.
To be equal and able also implies we need to work to earn our freedom.
However, there is a means to freedom that has no bounds other than the bounds of the human condition.
These bounds are seen through the proper use of impressions.
Like using works to accurately describe a picture.
It will take many practice times to gain the proper use of these words.
In the same sense, each person knows it is their ‘will’ that they must use to discipline their actions.
The preconception that we will be free when we do the right thing or moral or be virtuous, is like naming the unnameable.
Hence, the need for philosophy to learn what way will allow us to be free.
Again, freedom can be illusive when we are blinded by fear or ignorance, but we must learn we are willing and able to be free at birth or through education or by applying our will and discipline to achieve our freedom.
No amount of rhetoric will make you free when you are bound.
To learn to live, requires a philosophical idea that knows no bound.
Some say that idea is to do no harm. The proper use of impressions and the practice to discipline our impulses or desires. With our faculty of will…
Is it reasonable to stay like we are and do what we do?
Don’t answer that, but perhaps it is time to look at what we are doing with food.
There is a great debate which involves many big problems on planet earth: climate change, to eat or not eat meat (our health and welfare may depend on it), and changes are being spurred on by new concerns and interest due to Covid-19.
The exact place to start in this quagmire of change may be to start reading about the great debate.
