“Unconsciousness sometimes has audacity that wisdom has no power to repress. » Gilles Lamer
Today I received two messages on my Whatsap, one which explains a scientific term 🧑🔬
*SARCOPENIA* which gives advice to people who have had the good fortune of reaching a certain age but who do not manage it properly.
I will publish it on the second page because that is not the purpose of this text.
Here’s the one that blew me away:
“How sad to be old! …..I left the supermarket and looked for my car key. It wasn’t in my pockets. I went back inside and searched carefully through the tomatoes and potatoes and all the shelves, but found nothing. Suddenly I realized that it could be left inside the car and the car could be stolen. I quickly ran to the parking lot and THE CAR DISAPPEARED! I called the police and gave them my location, description of the car, license plate, etc., etc., and admitted that I had left the key inside. Then I made the hardest call…to my wife. Daaarling…..(my voice was shaking) I left the key in the car and it was stolen! There was a long silence… then she shouted: I drove you and dropped you off at the supermarket before going to the hairdresser! IMBECILE! Not without embarrassment but happy, I said: How nice! So are you coming to pick me up? She shouted again: I can’t, you idiot! I’m at the police station and I have to convince them that I didn’t steal the car! »….
I say :
All this could have been avoided if we knew how to look beyond the tip of our nose.
I have always lived in the laps of elderly people, people who are reaching the age of reflection and who were becoming (wise)😇, so much so, I remember that at the age of six, Madame Léon had me spat in the eyes 👀 because what she said; I was too curious, and I looked at her without blinking, and also, she reproached me of being too often under her breath, not knowing that I was fascinated by her, and continued to be to all white haired people . Very early on I understood the adage which says: “If youth knew, if old age could,” They also say ; that truth comes from the mouth of children, I would say;
in the mouths of elderly too. I noticed that, in reaching certain age, we come to realize that ; life was just a vast joke, that joys and sorrows were part of the scenery on the stage of human existence.
That allowed me to make wise choices and what makes me seem like a legendary hero to those who have not experienced my journey through life.
Each time I read a book, especially the Bible, I tried to understand the human being and to put into practice even what for many seemed impossible.
To get there, I had to look beyond the tip of my nose.
How ?
For example, I have never eaten cat meat 🐱 or sheep meat 🐑, and certain seafood. Out of respect for life in general, from what I have learned theoretically and practically, it allowed me to abstain from any meat , fish, fowls and poultry or anything that had an animated and even embryonic life, which would require killing before consuming them, which would have implications on my life.
In my job, I have seen people eat everything. Oysters 🦪, snails 🐌, frog legs 🐸, octopuses 🐙 and so on. We prepare them well and we give them nice names in restaurants: Escargots petit gris, Sautéed squid etc.
It is written in the Bible: Galatians 6-8
“He who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption; but he who sows according to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap eternal life. »
This well-understood verse meets the conclusion of the Buddha in his quest for the cessation of suffering: If you do not want to suffer, do not make others suffer.
Is this why when I see people who suffer from Parkinson’s disease, I attribute it to the sheep whose meat trembles, those who suffer from Alzheimer’s, I see the cat or other felines 🐈⬛ who thwart our brain and our telepathic faculty. But man, just to amuse his palate, spares nothing that moves.
Not to mention the many diseases 🦠 against which science can do nothing, since it was we who imported them into us, we would have to pay the consequences.
The Bible warns us in these particular verses : Job 5:6-7
6 Desease does not spring up from the dust, Nor pain springs up from the ground;
7 Man is born to suffer, Like the spark to fly.
In Haitian Creole we say:
Che nouri che. “Flesh feeds flesh. »
The Easterners do not beat around the bush, they tell us:
“You are what you eat. »
Here is a complete text which was inspired by the Bagavad Gîta:
Here is an exerpt :
Matthew 23:27-29
27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you are like whitened tombs, which appear beautiful on the outside, but which, on the inside, are full of the bones of the dead and all kinds of impurities.
28 You also appear righteous outwardly to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the tombs of the righteous,
Excuse me if I am disturbing, but I like to bring order to disorder, I took advantage of this golden opportunity offered to me, from this bad joke to do my pretentious re-education work.
It’s never too late to catch up, because all it takes is one last bite that very day for an illness that was incubating to break out.
A Haitian proverb says: Avoiding is better than asking for forgiveness.
And Daniel Desbiens says:
“On the path to happiness; avoid avoiding the truth. »
