I went to church yesterday and saw many mature people exercising in the morning on the road. Many people rely on diet therapy and drugs to maintain their lives, but the important factors that can really maintain life and physical health-exercise and joyful mood! What can really change us and our destiny is not knowledge, what can really be changed us are "living habits and values"! The biggest difference between people lies in "living habits and values"! Not the same level of education, there will be the same fate! The same level of education, but different living habits and different values, also create a different life! "Health" lies in the fact that many people think that different living standards create different healthy environments, but the real reason for "affecting health" is: living habits and values. Why do "living habits and values" affect health? Why are there many rich people who have a high standard of living and a lot of money, but they are still suffering from "cancer"? Too many people attribute "health" to: heredity and environment! But real health problems are closely related to our "living habits" and "values"!
(Matthew 25:15) And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; (16) Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. (17) And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. (18) But he that had received One went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. ~Jesus made a parable: A master wanted to go abroad, so he gave three servants five thousand taels, two thousand taels and one thousand taels. Both the five thousand taels and the two thousand taels were doubled, but the servant of the one thousand taels buried the one thousand taels in the ground. This verse may seem simple, but this verse has many different metaphors!
There are more servants of five thousand taels and two thousand taels than one thousand taels, but they are more willing to invest. They are not like one thousand taels of servants who bury their money in the ground. There are many people who are more healthy and willing to move, but looking at those with poor physical conditions, they think that "exercise" will make their health worse! This is the so-called "living habits and values"! People with poor health often want to "rest", and the less exercise the body, the weaker the body will be! This is the mentality of one thousand taels! The servant of one thousand taels thought: My money is not as much as that of the servants of five thousand taels and two thousand taels. People who are not in good health always think: I am not in good physical condition, I am not suitable for any activities. The less healthy you are and the less you exercise, the worse your living habits will be and the worse your health will be. In the end, they will bury the only one thousand taels, and the only one thousand taels will be taken back by the master, and they will go to the hell with nothing to mourn. Cry and gnash teeth!
Our lives are like servants of five thousand taels, two thousand taels and one thousand taels! Although, some people are in super good health, but we are all those who have one thousand taels, it is good that we have life and breath! There are many people living in pain, their lives are "debts", but none of us are "debts"! Do people with 5,000 taels and 2,000 taels already know that their investment will definitely double their earnings? They don't know the result of "investment", but they know that they must make good use of "capital"! There is no investment in this world that is guaranteed to make the profits, but if we don't make good use of our "life capital", we will definitely lose money! Why did Jesus use this parable? Because Jesus wants us to: Make good use of our lives. People with 5,000 taels and 2,000 taels are not investment experts, but they have the correct "living habit and values". When our "living habits and values" are correct, our investment will definitely not lose money!
And a servant of one thousand taels has wrong living habits and values! He got the money and buried it in the ground. What does this prove? This person is lazy, not aggressive, and this person is wasting life and resources. Does a frail person need exercise? Unless a person cannot move, every living person needs moderate exercise. "Exercise" is not to lose weight, but to make our body's metabolism cycle better! And the real reason for killing a person is not "innate inequality", but acquired "living habits and values"! "Life habits and values" will create a different life! Each of us is a servant of five thousand taels, two thousand taels, and one thousand taels. Everyone is born unequal, but can't "one thousand taels" have different lives? Of course not! The Creator did not limit our life with talent and money, but we must know: how do we use our life? We have 500 taels, and we can also reap the rich life. The important thing is: how do we use the 500 taels invested in our life?
