What is “health” and “being true to yourself”?
To be “true” you have to be honest with yourself and honest with the reality you live in. What is health? Health can simply be defined as ‘a person's mental or physical condition’ in terms of being ‘free from illness or injury’. Are you mentally healthy and free from any kind of mental illness or mental injury if you just look at yourself as a piece of flesh and meat and nothing more? That is a very low value and standard of oneself.
You are more than flesh and bones.
If there was more to your self than just being a piece of meat bringing greater meaning and value to your health; would you be true to yourself and healthy seeing less of yourself still? Logic and reasoning compels us to say that seeing your self less in value despite the reality of being more valuable is not being true to yourself and is a poor state of health. So if we are worth more and greater than just the muscle we build, what else adds to the value of living and of health? The only logical and rational choice is there has to be something outside and separate of the flesh, blood, meat, and muscle that increases the value, standard, purpose and health of all reality. What is his additional non physical reality that complements and improves overall health? Spirituality.
