Physical body, the - the dangers of founding a civilization on its needs
You only have to walk down the street to see that our present civilization is founded primarily on the needs of the physical body. Of course, we have to take care of our body, but if we are content to satisfy it while forgetting the existence of the soul and the spirit, these will grow weak and wither away through lack of nourishment. Many humans no longer show evidence of their soul or spirit - only of their body feeding, moving around and gesticulating. The physical body is vulnerable, perishable, so of what good is a philosophy founded on the needs of something so fragile? Such a philosophy is not only wrong but dangerous. By depriving human beings of what they need most - a life founded on the stable, immutable, eternal principle of the spirit - it will lead to their destruction.
