The human experience is fraught with pitfalls and trap doors. It is so easy to stray off the path. Pleasure, to be sure, comes with a price. Lust & Gluttony are two sides of the same coin that can debilitate the mind, body and spirit. Being lazy comes easy for some. For others, Pride & Greed drive us out of control into a brick wall.
If our best friend lent us a brand new car, would we drive it different than our own? Would we be so much more careful, thoughtful and respectful not to trash it?
Being bad and doing the wrong thing often feels so good. It is so difficult to know where to draw the line.
If we treated our physical bodies as expensive loaners, we may find that sweet spot where our heart and minds lead us to a balance that allows us to respectfully enjoy the ride.
