某天聽到兩人談話，內容是關於一位神經外科的名醫。其中一人的家屬因中風導致半身不遂，急需尋找高明的醫師協助，恰好對方剛好知道這位權威人物。

這是一場出於善意的對話，兩人攜手為需要救治的人尋找出路。

這樣的畫面令人動容，當有人陷入困境，我們自然會動念去尋找能幫助他的人。

這不只是個案，也是人性的體現。

慈悲，是深藏在我們內心的本性。

就如同街頭看到一位手持拐杖、身背重物的老人時，總有路人主動上前協助。人性之善，在日常中隨處可見。

然而，當一個人需要幫助時，我們是否應該去探究他「為什麼會需要幫助」？

在緊急關頭，救援理所當然；但若是因循怠惰所導致的困境，是否仍值得投入同等資源與關心？

 

一位體態虛胖的女士來到健身房，指名要找一位聽說效果極佳、態度溫和的減重教練。

推薦這位教練的朋友，出於善意，希望她也能成功瘦身。

然而，減重若只是短暫的「療程」，其成敗便取決於課程中是否見效。

一如詐騙或龐氏騙局，初期皆會展示績效、贏得信任，待對方加碼投入後，便全然退場、消失無蹤。

這位女士果真在課程中瘦了下來，但是沒多久又復胖，減重成功是事實，自己房間裡的零食櫃庫存依然也是事實。

她需要的，不是一位教她怎麼瘦的教練，而是一位能引導她管理慾望、重建生活節奏的養生導師。

 

另一則故事，一位母親協助兩位兒子創業開餐館，自己貢獻招牌料理的手藝。

前期一切順利：資金到位、人力齊全、分工明確，甚至不久就達成損益平衡。

然而，隨著營運穩定，母親逐步退場，將餐館全權交由兄弟接手。

不料第三年尚未結束，弟弟退出經營；第四年還未滿，餐館關門大吉。

拆夥的原因，不是因為生意不好，而是因為對工作時間與責任分配的糾紛。

兄弟倆因為計較、因為疲累，最終耗盡了經營的熱情。

他們缺乏的，不是能力，而是用心經營的心態與長遠規劃。

 

三則看似無關的故事，其實本質上有著驚人的雷同。

中風，是長期飲食失衡的結果；

肥胖，是長期情緒縱容的反映；

餐館關門，是缺乏長遠經營心態的結果。

而這些「根本原因」，往往不被他人看見。

朋友介紹名醫與教練、食客口耳相傳一家餐廳的好評，看到的只是表面成果，看不到背後的深層問題。

正如找工作的面試者說：「什麼都可以做，薪水無所謂。」

這正是許多人生的縮影：沒有學習，沒有規劃，只要眼前能過得去，地球上有過半數的人選擇過著「走一步算一步」的生活。

 

談到養生，市面上充斥著專家、名醫、保健食品與療程，但我們很少聽見有人提醒我們去「聽聽身體怎麼說」。

我們太習慣向外尋求解方：尋求快速、見效、權威、標準答案。

但真正的健康之道，不在於「別人怎麼說」，而在於你是否願意往內走、重新與身體連結。

產品與專業沒有錯，我們也需要它們。但養生的根本價值，不在於外在的資源，而在於內在的覺察與實踐。

外求的過程，很容易讓人遠離真正的核心。

我們該做的是：往內探索、還原身體的療癒力，並重新接通自己與宇宙之間的頻道。

Exploring Within, Reconnecting with the Universe

One day, I overheard a conversation between two people discussing a renowned neurosurgeon. One of them had a family member who had recently suffered a stroke and was left paralyzed on one side. They were urgently looking for an excellent doctor, and the other happened to know such a specialist.

This was a conversation born of goodwill—two individuals joining forces to seek help for someone in need of healing. It was a touching scene: when someone is in trouble, our instinct is to search for someone who can help. This isn’t just an isolated story; it reflects a universal truth about human nature.

Compassion lies at the core of our being. It’s like seeing an elderly person struggling with a cane and heavy bags—passersby often step in without hesitation. The goodness of humanity reveals itself in these small, everyday moments.

But it raises a question: when someone needs help, should we also ask why they need it?
In times of crisis, helping is unquestionable. But when hardship is the result of long-term neglect or complacency, is it still wise to invest the same resources and concern?

A woman with a noticeably overweight body walked into a gym, asking for a specific weight-loss coach she’d heard about—reputed to be effective yet gentle in approach. Her friend, who recommended the coach, did so out of kindness, hoping she too would succeed.

Yet, if weight loss is treated merely as a short-term “treatment,” its success hinges solely on visible results during the program. It’s much like a scam or Ponzi scheme: early gains build trust, prompting greater investment, only for the operation to vanish once the act is over.

This woman did lose weight during the program, but soon after, the pounds returned. Her weight loss was real—but so was the snack drawer still stocked in her room.
What she truly needed wasn’t just a weight-loss coach, but a life-health mentor—someone who could help her regulate desire and rebuild sustainable daily habits.

In another story, a mother supported her two sons in opening a restaurant, contributing her signature dishes as the house specials. In the beginning, everything went smoothly: funding was in place, labor was sufficient, roles were clearly defined, and they quickly reached breakeven.

With operations stable, the mother gradually stepped back, handing full control to her sons.
But before the third year was up, the younger brother quit. Before the fourth year, the restaurant shut down.

The reason wasn’t poor business. It was conflict—over working hours, task allocation, and perceived fairness. The brothers became drained, lost passion, and eventually gave up. What they lacked wasn’t skill, but long-term vision and the heart to truly run a business.
—

At first glance, these three stories seem unrelated. Yet, they share a striking core similarity.

A stroke is the result of long-term poor dietary habits.

Obesity stems from unchecked emotional indulgence.

A failed business is often the fruit of short-sighted planning.
But these root causes are rarely visible to outsiders.
A friend might recommend a top doctor or a celebrated coach. Diners may rave about a restaurant. But few see the deeper problems hidden beneath the surface.

It’s like a job seeker saying at an interview, “I can do anything. I don’t mind the pay.”
This mindset mirrors how many people live: no planning, no growth—just getting by day by day.
More than half the people on this planet settle for a life of drifting, moving only as far as the next step will take them.

When it comes to wellness, we’re surrounded by experts, doctors, supplements, and treatment packages. Yet few remind us to “listen to our bodies.”

We’ve become too used to looking outward for solutions: fast results, miracle cures, authoritative voices, definitive answers.
But true health doesn’t come from what others say—it comes from whether we’re willing to turn inward, and reconnect with our own body’s wisdom.

There’s nothing wrong with good products or professional advice—we do need them.
But the essence of wellness does not lie in external tools; it lies in inner awareness and consistent practice.

Looking outward too much leads us away from our center.
What we truly need is to explore within, to reclaim the body’s natural healing power, and to reopen the channel between ourselves and the universe.
