Physical Condition

Physical condition is the result of your choice of lifestyle.

It is so simple and straight, no hidden things.

Health is a thing that needed you to define.

這樣有問題嗎？

女人不穿上衣真空上陣（出街），男人上下都不穿全祼上陣有問題嗎？又或者女人都全祼出上陣有問題嗎？ 

 你心中必然已經有了答案。 

在原始社會或族群，衣服可是一種地位的代表。一般族人都沒有衣服。就算穿衣的特別人士，衣服的功用都不是遮羞。在這裡，不穿衣服真空上陣有問題嗎？ 

為什麼很多由原始族群演變出來的＂文明＂族群認為不穿衣服是不可以甚至是犯法？ 

文化真的有對錯的嗎？ 文化真的要有高低的嗎？ 又由誰去判？又有誰有資格去判？ 

加拿大B.C.省就有一班女人上星期一起不穿上衣，真空上身在街遊行。她們的表達是女權，男女平等的概念。與我提的文化差異像有點不同。但話雖如此，男女平等何嘗不是一種文化的產物？ 

小孩子在公眾地方大小便是錯的話，是因為他的便便影響其途他人而不是文化上的錯。莫非我們在原始森林或郊外中亦要找個＂廁所＂來才可大小便嗎？但若我在郊外時把便便落在你的鞋上這就是錯（理論上是錯，但亦可能我係專登的）。

前塵往事之原來佢係有錢仔

細細個，唔，讀小五小六咁上下。

當時，我係讀緊所謂貴族學校。即係都幾出名既私立學校。 當時，除了有一班有錢人讀貴族學校之外，在這樣貴族學也有像我這一類學生，即係家境不好但父母希望子女入讀名校，因此死慳死抵，屋企全力供養學校（交學費）。 學費交了但其他的就未必照顧得到，如衣著，食物，用品等。 其實，雖然我細，但我好明白我同很多同學仔係有分別。以我當時的能力我只能分別外表的不同。 

人以群分，我這一類人都喜歡聚在一起玩。還好地，在當時而然，bully之類的事件很少發生。或者，當時的人心地比較純樸。但有錢無錢始終都有分別。＂我阿爸買咗對Adidas比＂，＂琴晚屋企食咗xxx＂。講者無心聽者有意。雖然我不懂計較，但我亦清楚知道自己係乜身份。

當時，我與一位黃姓同學很要好，因為在體育堂時我穿大陸運動鞋而他穿大陸白飯魚（我比他高級了一點點），他很和善無架子。其實我們這類人那有資格擺架子？ 和善（從不駁咀是我們這類人的特性。） 

有一天，黃同學同我講，不如搵日去他的屋企玩。這個當然不是問題，因為根本上不需要任何準備嗎！莫非還需要什麼禮儀手信穿著整齊嗎？ 那天，我跟著黃同學坐電車到了北角。他說還要行一段路。行路，當然難不到我，但我行的方向並不是向海那些平民大眾住的唐樓方向，而是向半山的高級摩天大廈的方向。 

我有點不相信自己的眼。他竟然有自己的房間，我當時全家只有一間房。他有自己的書枱，基本上，任何用品他都有自己的。如果是現在我會問他有沒有自己廁所。 我看到他的鞋櫃，內裏的衣服鞋襪都是 made in China。 

這位太子爺，為什麼可以那麼樸素，為什麼可以那麼不炫耀自己的財富。我當時的結論是：他的家教好（我不想說他是笨蛋一名又或者他是一個節儉的人。事實上，我真的希望我不是一個＂節儉＂的人，我是那種是＂被節儉＂的一族）。但現在的我，我的結論是：他的家教好而他自己亦非常之好。

無為與無能

小國寡民，是老子以無為而治之道理。
但無為並不是無能弱勢。

看香港現在，市民分黨分派，各自表述，各自攻擊。這個亂象正正是領導無能之結果。

定還是有人想成亂中抽水獲利呢？

我相信能看到司馬超之心的日子不遠已。

走鋼線

要維持人的健康就像走鋼線一樣，我們要保持身體平衡。失足跌了下來就是生病了。 

年紀越小，鋼線離地越近，十多歲的孩童他的鋼線離地如兩三尺，跌了下來，拍拍屁股起身再行過。

對於中年人，鋼線離地可有十多尺高，跌下來可不事小，隨時永久傷殘甚麼乎生命有危險。 

對於老人而言，他們的鋼線就像在摩天大樓那麼高，一次平衡不了，必然粉身碎骨。
