Many chronic diseases are almost impossible to cure completely. According to doctors, the best approach is to manage them through diet control. In other words, control is the best treatment, such as for diabetes, gout, hypertension, and so on.
Once diagnosed with a chronic illness and faced with numerous dietary restrictions, it is clear that one loses the joy of enjoying food. Beyond controlling appetite and cravings, should we also begin to reflect on the principles of “disease enters through the mouth” and “disasters come from words”?
The term control is very important; a key topic in life education is learning self-control. It involves understanding how to govern oneself effectively, being fully aware of one’s actions, knowing when to act and when to refrain,
what can be eaten and what cannot. Control extends beyond diet; it also includes managing one’s impulsive temper, disposition, and greed.
Of course, to avoid disputes and handle problems rationally often requires immediate self-control. Only those who believe in their ability to control themselves can achieve victory through wisdom;
likewise, only those who possess a compassionate heart that embraces the world—wise individuals filled with kindness and courage—can reach the level of cultivation where they can say: “When deceived by others, remain calm; when insulted by others, do not show anger.”
The purpose of education ultimately revolves around learning how to control desires for food, temper, greed, and all selfish behaviors—essentially mastering self-control.
Beyond mastering behavioral control, we also find joy in continuous acts of giving and contribution. We begin to understand the importance of doing good for others and finding happiness in helping others; thus not only can we heal physical ailments but also address emotional wounds while enjoying a joyful and happy life every day.
