I think it's great to have energy. But it's also nice to be understanding

of those who may not move as fast as you do. A little compassion goes

a long way. Getting all annoyed because the line at the grocery store

doesn't go as fast as you would like, well it seems a little immature to me.

Relax. Maybe these people who don't walk as fast as you do have problems

that can't be cured by a raw diet. Not everything can be. Raw food is not the

end all and be all. Of course it's a good component of a healthy lifestyle but

it's not everything. You know maybe these " slow " people are there to teach

you a lesson in patience and empathy and compassion. That is, if you could

only slow down long enough to do that. I hope you can.

 

I'm sorry my first post on this list seems negative, but this guy's posts, not

only on this list but I believe I've seen it on others, with added comments

about

the supermarket lines, and how it bothers him so much because he is slowed

down

by others, really rubs me the wrong way.

 

If you want to promote a raw diet and exercise, that is WONDERFUL! I applaud

you

for that.

 

But maybe you can do it in a more postive way without putting others down

because they aren't as advanced and as fast as you are. We all have to start

somewhere, don't we?

I am very understanding. Come on, everyone gets annoyed by the long

waits at check out lines. I patiently wait it out, I'm not really

upset. I probably have a lot of immaturity in me, part of why I'm

here, to work on my issues. Raw food may not be the end all

(spiritual perfection is) but it is the be all for me. I don't know

what it would or wouldn't do for someone else.

 

Everything is there to teach me a lesson in patience and empathy and

compassion, nothing but growth in these all day long regardless of

what I'm doing or how I'm interacting with people is my theme in

life. I slow down very well, thank you, I know it's necessary to my

own joy. I'm sorry I rubbed you the wrong way but thanks for

commenting on my post.

 

I am who I am, I come across however I come across to people, to me

I'm always positive. People may not be as advanced as I am, but I

show them much love, goodness, empathy, concern, caring and respect

for my own growth as a person. And, of course, I know being advanced

is only a temporary state. Yes, people have to start somewhere, and

I take a very serviceful approach to wherever anyone is at.

 

Condescendingly yours,

Dear Cathy,

 

Sorry I got your ire up.

 

I guess you missed the point. It wasn't about getting annoyed at slow

people. I could care less. They don't annoy me or bother me in any

way. I just go around them. It was actually about the poor state of

health and fitness that people are in and they think it is natural.

They believe aging is the cause of this. It has nothing to do with

aging. I have example after example of this of older people who are in

fantastic shape.

 

My grandmother is always telling me how old she is and saying that is

the reason for her poor health. And yet my grandfather is 4 years

older than her at 80 and he has much better health and fitness than

her, by far.

 

I call my grandfather the Moroccan Jack LaLanne. He moves way better

than the people in this supermarket because he exercises almost every

day. He doesn't have the best diet but he eats minimally and so that

helps. I've gotten him to increase his consumption of fruits and

vegetables quite a bit. He's a big vitamin guy.

 

I remember a several years back going out to exercise with him and

having a hard time keeping up with his walking speed. That was before

I was 100% raw. And I had been exercising quite a bit myself. But I've

found that just being 100% raw improves ones ability to breathe and

move. It gives you more energy and it makes everything function at

peak efficiency. In short it makes you want to move and exercise. I

feel sorry for the people who suffer in their own bodies as I once did.

 

Actually the raw diet can cure very many things. Or the effect of

eating a raw diet allows the body the extra energy and good building

materials to heal itself.

 

Arthritis and most diseases of old age simply won't happen to someone

on a raw diet. Unless of course they've done too much damage to

themselves or if the damage is genetic.

 

I also said exercise and actually the kind of exercise was important.

I like to add a little spice to my emails so people will read them.

 

I guess it worked. Being politically correct all the time can make for

some boring reading. I find it funny how some people focused on my so

called annoyance. I simply said I was impatient; so what.

 

Does that mean I don't have compassion or don't understand. It doesn't

mean that at all. I know very well why they move like that and I think

it's too bad for them. But it's also their choice.

 

You simply reacted emotionally but not to what I actually said. You

added emotions in there that I never said I experienced. To me it's

much more like a game, than something to get mad about. I'm too happy

to spend a lot of time being mad or upset about things. If you look

back you'll never see that I said I was annoyed. You drew that

conclusion incorrectly.

 

What about the rest of the email? Did you find it interesting at all.

Did you try the exercise program yourself. I highly recommend it. I am

just bursting with energy the more I do it.

 

And yes advertisments and signature files that are relevant to raw

foods and health are allowed. I happen to be one of the moderators of

this forum.

I like it when people's ire gets up, it's something to talk about

which beats having nothing to talk about. The mentality of people as

they get older is a sad thing. Just being 100% raw has improved my

ability to breathe and move. It gives me more energy and it makes

everything function at peak efficiency.

 

I like to add a little spice to my emails so people will read them

and hopefully comment on them. To me too, life and eating this way

is much more like a game, than something to get mad about. I'm too

happy to spend a lot of time being mad or upset about things.

Hi Cathy,

 

After further reading, it appears you may not have been completely

referring to me in your email. Maybe I jumped to conclusions. I'm not

really sure at this point. Maybe you were referring to what Rich said

as well. I don't remember if he said he was getting angry or annoyed

at these supermarket lines.

 

I'm sorry if you weren't referring to my post in your message. This is

one of the difficulties with these groups. Things sometimes get confused.

 

The link was mine however.

 

Take care, Roger

Ive been raw fooding for 3 months now. It feels great, and has increased my

metabolism greatly (IM 53.5)
