The domain of man is limited to the mindset that is developed from within. Some merely live for self-aggrandizement, while others swim with pleasure in the pool of the fleshly delights. Yes, each to their own. Only, each one of us is affected in some way by another’s obsessions and out-of-control lusts. This is especially so, if the other has influence beyond merely wanting to be our best friend.
This may be a philosophical matter, even though many do not see the providence of humankind a matter of health. Needless to say, health is critical for everything. Unhealthy climates can be more than physical and particular to the individual. What appears to be an unhealthy climate or state of mind for one person, might be the very reason another survives and finds a purpose for existence. Ultimately, we are the ones who find comfort in our suffering or feel the need to hyperventilate our feelings with expressions of anger and disappointment. Tragically, this is territory belonging to the non-physical realm that is all too common, and Utopian alternatives seem so otherworldly that we may not bother to acknowledge the percolating discontent within our very core, even though we desire a better deal. Let’s face it, we all have a bitch about something, at sometime. The question is, Why do we feel the need? And, more to the point, Is it healthy?
A timely cathartic outburst might relieve the tension under the skin, but wantonness is not something we freely admit too. Truth be known, we are all longing something, only our inhibitions constrain us from rocking the boat, least whatever creature comforts we enjoy are snatched away from some callous cretin who doesn’t understand or care about our true psychological sensitivities. All we really want is to love and be loved. The difficulty with this oft worn phrase of longing to be loved and to love lies in its interpretation. We could just as well say, “One person’s poison is another person’s pleasure.” For what disgusts some as being morally repugnant, a less principled person finds relief from some primordial desire that has been caged because of circumstances outside of his or her control. At least this is forms the basis for mitigating circumstances that permit judges to justify forgoing imposing a penalty appropriate to the crimes committed by the those who break free from the inner torment of their cage. If only, we had a healthier society, then leisure might become the pleasure we desire to indulge twenty-four seven. Love might be interpreted as a form of appreciation of each one’s true worth and justice may be based upon true righteousness, rather than goal posts of injustice that shift at the whim of some petard.
Our mindsets are determined by different factors. We may wonder why some people seem to have a healthy mindset, and others unhealthy, yet appear to be the norm. How often have violent outbursts of frustration been evidenced among communities where peace and tranquility are foreign? For many simply a word is sufficient for the onset of the apocalypse. Often just one word classified as sexist or racist or discriminatory is sufficient to consign an innocent child to the gallows, but not one that is rude, lewd or crude from those who are politically correct. Wanton for something meaningful, abuse abounds the halls of power; whether that power is in government or at work or at school or in the church or the kitchen or the bedroom; it is still abuse. The domain of our personal power is found in our inner self. Whether the inner self is a healthy domain of beauty and wonderment and positive affirmations of goodness has nothing to do with external factors, rather it has more to do with soundness of each one’s mindset. We might be affected by outside influences, but we need not let them rule our mind. A sound mind is set when we take control of our thoughts and determine the direction we will take in life, whether we will suffer in silence, protest in outrage or enjoy good health in our body, mind and soul.
A healthier you, means a healthier society. A healthier you also means a wealthier and wiser you. And this has nothing to do with rams, lambs and ewes. Whatever the sacrifice imagined, it is all about YOU
