Are you treating your greatest miracle with the respect it deserves?
Posted by: admin in Articles, tags: WellbeingI was sorting out some old papers recently and came across a single piece of A4 paper with a long quote on it. I vaguely remember reading it before but there is nothing on the paper to say who wrote it and no handwritten note from me saying where I got it or when.
But I wanted to share it with you because it’s a useful reminder for all of us to be grateful for what is both under our nose and, literally, our nose:
Is there anything more miraculous than your amazing body?
There is no excuse for undermining the health of the human body, the most wondrous creation of the Supreme Spirit. Perfect in every detail with working parts that replace themselves constantly, built in thermostats to guard against the cold and changes in the atmosphere, an automatic cooling system that refreshes you in the extreme heat and essential organs that work for twenty four hours every day and never go on strike unless you overload them and they all do their own particular jobs to the very best of their ability without thanks or recompense.
No engineer could ever design a machine that could do the same job over and over again throughout such a long period of time. No heating expert has ever devised such a marvellous automatic system and look at the wonderful way everything within this physical structure, called the human body, can not only look after itself and arrange its own maintenance but also renew its own parts.
It has within itself a huge workforce which it feeds, houses and, if they die, replaces them at very short notice. It has the most efficient power and sewerage systems ever designed. This wonder of wonders, this miracle of miracles, this treasure beyond all treasures and yet many constantly abuse it every day: sending the workers on strike, killing off the army of protectors, severely overloading the power and sewerage systems and packing out the warehouses with useless rubbish so that there is no space left for the essentials.
If you owned the greatest treasure in the world, what would you do? You would make sure that it was fully protected in every possible way. You would see that it was kept at the right temperature, regularly cleaned every day so that its beauty could be admired by everyone and you would be proud to put it on show for the whole world to see.
Are you taking care of your treasure?
