Dialectics of Reason and Value - Moderation-and balance

[Guest guest]

Emmanuel and Alon,

 

Isn't what you are discussing really the essence of what so many of us

find so inspiring about " western Oriental Medicine " ('see Ken, I'm being

deliberately precise in not using the term Chinese medicine or TCM!),

meaning a desire to restore balance to our bodies, our emotions and our

relations to each other and our environment. That is precisely why

someone with perspective and maturity will always see the benefit of

helping those less fortunate, no matter what their religious perspective.

 

Yehuda
