Today's post is a reflection on how individuality promotes dis-ease and unhealth. When we are only focused on our own needs to the exclusion of all others, we become more and more isolated. Isolation leads to an ever more inflated sense of self, and an ever more inflated sense of our own needs above everyone else. Thus, we find ourselves with designer health care where those with money can get anything they want, and those without money get what's left.
Creation of community, where members look out for the welfare of each other, create and maintain health. Members who ask each other how they are doing on both physical and spiritual matters, hold each other accountable and improve each others well-being. Without this community and accountability, persons get more and more isolated, and more ego-centric. Thus, the whole fabric of relationships unravel.
If you are finding yourself in a space where you are feeling lonely and isolated, look to a faith community. Find one that is welcoming and feels right, and see what happens. I posit that your health and well-being will improve remarkably and will be maintained.
Peace and health,
Dan
