Healthy living

It seems that something always dies in order for us to live, here is an example does a living plant have any less rights then a living animal, it feels pain and it’s a living so with this in mind is being a vegetarian really any better than being a carnivore.

Answer no, however I’m not going to get into the deep questions about taking a life to continue ours, instead I’d like to talk about the balance between meat and vegetables in the human diet.
After spending sometime looking into the life style around the world I see a common paten of health and life length, natural food meaning home cooked without artificial flavoring or sweeteners is healthier.

Fat is not bad?
Believe it or not your body can handle natural fatty foods without a problem it’s the pure sugar you find in drinks and sweets that it can’t. However the full fat milk and fat on fresh lamb or pork is not bad for you.

Balance
It’s important not too over do any one thing as everything can be bad for you in excise, the best balance of food is 30% meat to 70% vegetables this means that every meet meal should have vegetables with it and that some days you have meals that don’t have meat at all.

Pancakes
Are pancakes unhealthy no they are not, the things you place on them such as maple syrup and ice cream and other high sugar enriched food.
Salads are not bad for you but after you put all the toppings on them they are just as bad because the level of flavorings and sugar in that source is bad, not all are and most of the home made ones are in fact very good.

what should eat?
Answer anything you like but if you want to live long and healthy think of making the meal yourself and not just buying it, hell going to a good restaurant and not a fast food store is better than nothing, yes that’s right just changing where you eat could help you.
And lastly when to eat… don’t eat late eating before bed is the quickest way to put some extra kilos on as your body is not using it right away it will convert it to fat, another good tip have a short walk or tidy the house after eating as this will help to metabolize the food, obviously don’t overdo it.

Next step

Commitment ? what is it about commitment that strikes such fear into peoples hearts ?

Just because I want to take the next step it doesn't mean I want to climb all the stairs.

All of the fears people encountered on this subject come from one simple and basic place, fear of change... fear of not knowing what will happen next.

But there is a better way to look at this... think of the excitement it brings, after all there is no fun in a surprise if you know what it is... so treat it like a surprise birthday and go into it with a smile and happy heart and there will be cake and gifts waiting for you at the end of it.

You know want I mean ?

Since all things are a matter of perspective and built into any form of perspective must be a common experiences in order to understand the deep structure of that meaning.
However since we all have unique lives almost 99.9% of us will never understand those around us fully because we lack the root experience needed to under the deep structure of that persons mind.

However in this world there are two way over come this... first is an easy, if you're one of the few empathic you can feel the intent of the person and you don't need to know the deep structure to understand them... the second is the more common one and this is to tell stories of our lives... this is the most commonly use one to build common understanding between people.

Story telling for want of a better expression is the way most of us explain our points of view, however for this to work we need to tell all the stories good and bad and this is where most of us fail, as we don't want to admit our failings.

Serious game

Its strange to me how we all ways seem to end up trying to create rules for things, the most recent was for computer games designers, I recently read how not enough of them have degrees in physics.

But let’s think about this for a moment, what do they need it for they are trying to portray fantasy not reality so who cares if in their virtual world doesn’t resemble the real one that’s why it’s call fantasy, after all you don’t turn to a fantasy book writer and say I’m sorry you can write about dragons because it doesn’t resemble reality.

I’m sure the next thing we’ll hear is we don’t know enough about the history of computer games and they will start teaching that as well.

I stop to ask the question where is the fun gone, I think it is no wonder people in our world are becoming stressed and unhappy when you need a education to do what we used to drop out and have fun to do, I think everything is being taken too seriously and the fun is being lost.

It wasn’t that long ago they were telling us computer games are a waste of our time yet now they are telling us how to do it?

It’s amazing how you need qualifications in everything except in the once place, and those are the people that run things. Maybe they should play civilization for awhile before taking jobs in government.

I can see if these rule for everything are not stopped won’t be long before you need a sports history lesson and theory before you can go for a run, now this might seem extreme but think about how many thing now need some paper qualification.

And for those of you who are employers I ask you do these degrees help or are you training new staff just as much as before only now they think they know better because they have a piece of paper telling them they know it already.

Bring bad the apprenticeships I say where you told someone that had the willingness to learn a skill and show them how it’s done. After all even Jesus led by example.
Now I’ve had my say have a good day.

Time enough

We often say not enough time, no time now, sometime later, but in the real world the reality is that time isn't limited and there for can't run out.

So what we really mean is that we just don't want to spend time with you now or we are busy in some other way.

Why are we not more honest and say things like let me finish this and I'll be able to talk to you.

But by far the most worrying is who we often say these things to, its almost always family and loved ones, the very people that we should spend the most time with.

So I ask you to think about this and take a moment to be with your family today.
