RE: NM Wisdom Challenge: Do We Live Healthy Lives to Avoid or Postpone Death?
Wonderful that you have these discussions with your family and it was interesting to hear the response of your children - especially your youngest -
I want to be healthy because I don’t want to be unhealthy.
Also interesting the perspective of the socio-environmental influences on youth and unhealthy choices!
Isn't it wonderful that you could just drop the smoking and alcohol when you began meditating! I was living a pretty healthy lifestyle when I took my first Vipassana course but it was more the mental and emotional health that improved with the meditation.
Good quote from the Buddha -
to keep the body in good health is a duty...
otherwise we shall not be able to keep our minds strong and clear
Thanks for sharing!
