In addition to that, people seem to think that taking care of oneself is a type of ego-trip, whereas I believe that one cannot ever take care and help anyone else unless they themselves are first healthy in body and mind.
A healthy, happy person radiates this towards everyone he meets. His happiness becomes addicting for others and he changes the world by changing himself.

Take Yoga as an example of an “unreasonable” system, and it is indeed, in its rawest, classical form very different and completely unnatural to what most of us have become used to in the west. The system of Yoga begins with the human being, with the body and the mind, and the higher stages are activated only through working on oneself. Certainly no accomplished Yogi would ever agree to be “normal” or “reasonable”.

The West is known for being “reasonable” or “logical”. There have been modern Chinese philosophers who had said that the West sees the changing reality and instead of adapting himself, tries to change it, fight with reality. I agree with this. We have indeed been taught to change everything but ourselves when something isn’t working.
Which is in fact anything but reasonable or logical.

Thanks again!
