2024 1 31 Morning Era Day 19900 Wednesday Cloudy 17-24 Guangzhou.

There are 100 days left to reach 20,000 days.

When I woke up from noon, I found that the return to Nantian had begun, and water beads appeared on the tiles of the kitchen and toilet, and the air humidity was very high. When I was lying on the sofa and saw the curtain leading to the kitchen, I was always a little dissatisfied, so I spent a long time looking for a favorite pattern on a certain treasure, and finally restrained myself and didn't buy it, but the time was wasted for at least half an hour.

Today, I would like to talk about nutrition and faith, and first say the conclusion: what suits you is the best.

These two things really made me slap in the face, and I didn't dare to make assertions in the future.

Let's start with nutrition, which is a large and complex subject. Since my daughter fell ill, I learned that a diet advocating meat, eggs and milk **, eat more protein, strengthen nutrition, and the body will be healthy, an adult should consume 60-80 grams of protein every day, and an egg, a box of pure milk, and one or two meats contain about 7 grams, so you have to eat 10 servings a day, which can be 4 eggs (4 servings), a box of milk (1 serving), half a catty of meat (5 servings), and it is said that plant protein, such as rice, noodles, and beans contain protein, but the human body is not easy to absorb, The highest absorption rate is in eggs (said to be 98%), followed by animal proteins such as chicken, duck and fish. I not only eat like this myself, for my children, but also actively recommend this diet to others, and later learned about a diet called "keto", which is more particular about not eating staple foods, replacing carbohydrates with high-quality oil (fat), producing ketones after eating, and then combining fasting, there are many benefits, such as quick thinking, youth, prevention of Alzheimer's disease and so on. After a friend I knew adopted this diet, I really lost weight, ** was also oily, and my hands and feet were warm, and I also began to adopt this diet until my stomach was uncomfortable.

At this time, I was about to insert the matter of faith, I was 36 years old in Canada to receive the baptism of ** religion, at that time I was a little ignorant, after returning to China because of my husband's affair to divorce me, I asked the pastor for advice, and I still clearly remember that the pastor said to me at that time: "If you ask a hundred people to agree with your divorce, maybe ninety-nine people will not agree, but I am the only one who agrees, because there is no love in his eyes when he looks at you." So I got divorced, and I felt that I had followed God's will, and even at that time I learned to pray, imitating the prayer of Jesus when he was about to be arrested in the Garden of Xthsemane: "If you may, take that cup away from me, but not as I will, but as you will." "After the divorce, I also experienced several times of the Holy Spirit, one is to completely surrender the children to God, my daughter is also a child of God, He is fully responsible, I just assist God in raising the children, which makes my heart feel much easier. Another thing is a conflict with the nanny at home, I prayed for a few days about this, and finally one day two words appeared clearly in my mind, I don't think I came up with it, it was the Holy Spirit moved, those two words are "respect", since then our relationship has eased, and the nanny later also believed in ** religion. I felt like I was doing the right thing about my faith, until a sister appeared.

She is a Vietnamese-Chinese, ** missionary, married a northeasterner, who is also a graduate of a seminary and aspires to mission, settled in China, gave birth to a son, they opened a foot massage shop in the mountainous area of northern Guangdong, while relieving people's physical pain, while preaching the gospel. I met her based on another friend's introduction, when I was just 50 years old, retired, and wanted to study Chinese medicine. My friend went to her foot massage shop because of dizziness and headache, experienced the magic of foot therapy, and recommended me to learn from her, so I went. The relationship between people is really so strange, and I don't know if it's because of what I did or said, so that the sister was very blind to me, and when I met people, they said that I studied well, liked me or something, of course, I also wanted to learn well, but I knew her soon after she fell ill, maybe it was too hard work, maybe she was disappointed in her husband, maybe it was the original family, maybe it was church strife, she couldn't sleep, she had a lot of negative thoughts in her heart, and even wanted to commit suicide, this should be the legendary depression, At that time, I thought that God let me meet her at that time for the glory of God, relying on a little psychology and volunteering to do some psychological counseling on the Internet, I really thought that I could do something, so I spent a lot of time listening and companionship, but enlightenment was impossible, because she was a missionary and knew more than me. After receiving a lot of negative garbage for a long time, I unconsciously got bored in my heart: I really didn't want to have anything to do with this person anymore. But as a ** disciple, how can you think like this and don't do it, this is the so-called "moral kidnapping", so I sang the hymn "** love inspires me." He died for me, and I live for Him". endured like this, until one day, when I heard her ** and saw her WeChat, my heart was pounding, nervous and anxious, and I even heard her say: When I was better than her son, I was suddenly very scared, afraid that she would not hold a grudge against me because I didn't repay her like his son, right? She knows my address and won't ambush me on my way home, right? I was taken aback by the thought of myself, isn't this the so-called "delusion of victimization", at this time my stomach is also uncomfortable, I always feel that I am there, and I have no appetite, and suddenly I have a fear of the future, she has a husband and son by her side, and she has to take care of everything, and I live alone in Guangzhou, what if something happens.

I knew that I was sick and had to disconnect from the sister, and then I went to the hospital for some tests, and the gastroscopy found that the problem was not too big, but I didn't feel good myself, so I went to see a Chinese doctor. Traditional Chinese medicine is a "Taoist doctor", not only to cure diseases, but also to subvert the three views, talking about noble life, health preservation, and making something out of nothing, that is, the origin of the disease may be ** in the birth of a qi, stagnation for a long time, it becomes a tangible substance, maybe it is cancer. TCM taught me that it is not only what you eat that determines a person's health, but whether they can absorb it, otherwise it will become waste water in the body after eating, which will make the body suffer more, which can explain why the same diet cannot be applied to everyone. So I started drinking millet porridge again to nourish my stomach.

Speaking of faith, that missionary sister should be a very good believer, but why can't people with such good faith solve their own problems, and why can't negative emotions be disintegrated because of faith? That sister is very talented in pedicing, she has given a lot for the sake of her faith, often helping the sick for free, taking them in in her own home, but because of this, she has accumulated a lot of resentment, such as feeling that there is no reward for giving sincerely, she has cured others, but others still do not admit it, etc., these grievances or self-righteous giving, and finally reached the opposite peak in one thing.

That incident is another sister's mother after a stroke, asked her to go **, at the beginning of the condition to see better, but not two days later but suddenly aggravated, this time she continued to use the method of pedicure rescue, but did not get better, so one of the people present said, or call an ambulance, so the old man was sent to the hospital, into the ICU, after a few days, the doctor I knew honestly told that there was no need to spend that money anymore, so the old man passed away. Hearing the news, the missionary sister lost control, she felt that she should have come to ** this old man earlier, then this old man would be fine, she blamed herself deeply, although everyone including the old man and his children did not blame her, but she could not forgive herself, thinking that it was her own fault and wept bitterly. But what exactly is the disease cured by a doctor? Or is it according to the belief of ** religion that human life is in God's hands?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that whether or not it can be ** mainly depends on the person, and the doctor only plays an auxiliary role. Don't think how capable you are when you are cured, and obey the will of heaven if you can't cure it. In traditional Chinese culture, it is also about respecting heaven and loving others, such as: do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, and do not do to others what you do not want to do to others. Teach: Treat people as you would like to be treated. I used to think that the statement of ** teaching was more positive, but after listening to Professor Zeng Shiqiang in Taiwan, I realized that what I don't want is probably not liked by others; And what you like, others may not like. From this point of view, the traditional Chinese "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is a better reflection of the heart of "benevolence".

Any religious culture has its own aspects of goodness, and the difference lies in whether God is God or Human. Religion is about God creating, mastering, and always being with people, and that those who trust God have eternal life. Chinese culture says that God has the virtue of a good life, but the Tao Te Ching also says that "heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs", and "dogs" refer to the straw gadgets used for sacrifices, which are very important before the sacrifice, and children can not be allowed to move, but after the sacrifice ceremony, they are thrown aside, and no one cares about them. Heaven and earth are born but not raised, and let everyone be responsible for himself.

At this point, we have to distinguish between the so-called "fairness".

Western countries say that "all men are created equal", in fact, we all know that this is a lie, some people have struggled all their lives and have not been able to reach Rome, but some people have been born in Rome, how can there be any comparison. **The concept of fairness is a story told by Jesus in the Bible about distributing silver to servants, saying that the master was going out and giving silver to the servants, some gave five thousand taels, some gave two thousand taels, and some gave one thousand taels, so that they could make good use of the money to make money, and after some time, the master came back and asked several servants about their business, and the one who got five thousand earned another five thousand, and the one who got two thousand also earned two thousand, and the master was very happy, and praised the first two, but the one who got a thousand did nothing, and buried the silver in the groundand yet only a thousand, and his master took away the thousand, and gave to him who already had ten thousand, for whoever hath it will be given to him, that he may have more; and if he has not, he shall take all that he has.

This shows that God created man, which is not fair, but God also gives different requirements according to each person's talent, God gives you as much ability as you want, let you play as much, but you can't do nothing and give up on yourself. For this, why did God create me with a slight disability in my left leg, although I am not as deaf as those blind and deaf, but I still have some resentment in my heart. Some Chinese religions say that birth is a matter of one's own choice, in which country, which family, who the parents are, etc., and the criteria for selection may be one's own life, doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, but there is also a score after doing wrong and creating evil, and then within that range, and then with the spiritual plan of this life, we don't remember it after birth. Some people later slowly remembered the mission of being born as a human in this life, and Confucius also said that fifty knows the destiny of heaven. I couldn't accept this idea at first, but there is some truth to it when I think about it: people are responsible for themselves.

On the issue of faith, I still haven't reached a conclusion, just like nutrition, I think it's good for me, I don't have to force it, and I don't have to regard others as beasts, as if the truth is only in my own hands, after all, this is an unknown territory, everyone has never seen heaven and hell, whether it is reincarnation can only be known after death. It's the right thing to have a good time in the current situation, and it's only a good thing to live every day. The past has passed, the future is still the future, only today, this moment, now is the time when we can decide a little, so take it easy, eat, drink, be kind to yourself and others, not for anything else, just for peace of mind and peace of mind.
