Body
Regardless of the significance attributed to the human body in various religions or philosophies, it is undeniable that every person has only one body for their entire life. This unique 'vessel' carries us through all the highs and lows of our existence. Therefore, it is a wise and responsible decision to care for the body, protect it from harm, and preserve its health as best as possible—for a fulfilling and long life.
In today's world, many people's treatment of their bodies often contradicts a responsible, healthy lifestyle. Obesity continues to rise due to poor dietary habits, while basic fitness standards are increasingly being lost. At the same time, the gap between the physical condition of the average population and the peak performance of professional athletes is widening. Added to this is an alarming trend of alcohol, drug, and both traditional and electronic cigarette abuse. This behavior runs counter to the understanding that every person has only one body to protect and care for—a dilemma that urgently requires greater awareness and change.
Mind
The human mind is regarded in most religions as the foundation of our existence, far more significant than the body. It has elevated us as a species above the animal kingdom through our thinking, creativity, and ability to form complex relationships. Whether we came into being by chance or through a deliberate creator, it is undeniable that our mind provides the basis for achieving great things. It is our mind that has brought forth art, science, and culture—allowing us to dream, plan, and change the world. This extraordinary gift should fill us with pride and responsibility.
The reality of our time starkly contrasts with the potential of the human mind. Mental illnesses, particularly depression, are rapidly increasing, especially among young people. This trend is exacerbated by an unprecedented dependency: on pornography, gambling addiction, social media, smartphones, compulsive shopping, and other digital stimuli. These addictions rob the mind of its freedom and deepen feelings of isolation and overwhelm. Simultaneously, substances like alcohol and drugs worsen or create additional problems by clouding the mind and preventing real solutions. Instead of unleashing greatness, the mind increasingly falls into a cycle of loss of control and helplessness.
