The Middle Way

Hi there.. I haven't been updating this blog recently. Been really busy catching up with everything and also dealing with my confusions as well...

The middle way.

The other day I had the sudden thought. I saw a really fat person and quite small feet. Poor feet, that has to support that amount of weight everyday, 24/7. So too fat causes too much weight that is bad for the feet. Okok. So let's lessen it by half.. So the lesser the body weighs the better it is for the legs. But then again... If the body is too thin, it becomes malnutrition. The feet doesnt have the strength to carry its body. So the body cannot be too thin and cannot be too fat. It has to be just right, in order for the feet to function properly.. The Middle Way... Wow.. Our body itself is a great example of it. Our whole life, we are constantly learning to balance our body. Not too fat, not too thin, not too hot, not too cold. Not too hungry not too full.. 

 I didn't realized until now, that our body has been teaching us the middle way ever since we were born. Something that we see, touch and feel everyday.. But we don't have the wisdom to recognize it. 

Buddha is so amazingly wise when he pointed out - The Middle Way. 3 simple words. Amazing wisdom. Truly amazing. Wow.
