DIET PROOF

Holding on to life as long as humanly possible is the holy grail of everyone. By replacing every organ from heart to kidneys we try to evade death the silence of the morgue, is replaced by the “silence of the organs”. Life they say is disease with 100% mortality, then why don’t we live it that way, instead of denying the main benefit of a healthy life, and indifference to oneself? Trapped in the treadmill of living, we are bombarded with negative news and forget to focus on our positive identities buttressed with the good life.

Today we are trying to save our self from true happiness with our obsession for health, from cholesterol, to Heart ailments, Weight gain, Diabetes and Cancer. Like the Nazis, the hunting down of smokers from every public place is like a collective exorcism, the whole society wants to deny the smoker the pleasure he found in cigarettes. Everyone is on a diet and everything is banned, Red meat / Cholesterol, Eggs / salmonella poisoning, Sweets, cakes / Diabetes, smoking/cancer, Apples/sprayed with pesticide (daminozide) Vegetables / molybdenum deficiency in soil, aluminum toxicity from vessels, salt/hypertension, Sprouts, sea food / E coli. Sickness and health have become indistinguishable; we have become a nation of hypochondriacs. The dinner, lunch and breakfast table resembles a pharmacy counter, where calories are weighed; whole grain bread for digestion, garlic and other insipid food have to be eaten conscientiously like medicine and finally tablets for desert. We have lost touch with the art of living a happy life.

The domain of therapy has annexed everything that once belonged to the art of good living, even languishing horizontally can cause sacral sores and deep vein thrombosis, with all this you don’t become immortal but survive longer. For most people death starts to be interesting or scary with the first intimation of their mortality. As they work through the seven ages of mankind, they turn to dependence, indignity and pain that affect everyone at the end of life.

Expects say that a brush with death is not bad at all, unless it includes them. Close shaves have interesting features they include panoramic memory, a feeling of pleasure and joy (akin to orgasm) and images of a heavenly world, assuming that’s where you are headed. Mystics maintain that it opens the soul, broadens the mind and can change a person’s life.

I think my policy is the best, diseases and all like tax can be deferred, and I will enjoy the best things in life and food in my lifetime. Rather than resist / avoid deadly disease, why not enjoy life and he terminally ill in Bangkok or Hawaii. Let us reconnect with what we have lost and learn to savor “The art of dying”.-Vinay-
