TO ME, ONE IS WORTH TEN THOUSANDS, IF HE IS EXCELLENT.

The quote
“Εἷς ἐμοὶ μίριοι, ἐὰν ἄριστος ᾖ”
(one to me is worth ten thousand, if he is excellent), attributed to Heraclitus, highlights the qualitative superiority of virtue over quantity. In the Heraclitean philosophical framework, the “excellent” is the wise man who understands the “Logos” (cosmic harmony), transcending the ignorance of the many.

Heraclitus devalues ​​the masses (the “many”), considering them to live in error, while exalting the one who possesses knowledge and virtue.

The "excellent" is not defined by social status, but by his moral and intellectual quality, which makes him equal to a multitude of people.

The ability to understand the world (Logos) is rare, making the wise person unique and extremely valuable.

ΕΊΣ ΕΜΟΊ ΜΎΡΙΟΙ, ΕΆΝ ΆΡΙΣΤΟΣ ΕΊ.

ΓΙΑ ΕΜΈΝΑ, Ο ΈΝΑΣ ΑΞΊΖΕΙ ΌΣΟ ΔΈΚΑ ΧΙΛΙΆΔΕΣ, ΕΆΝ ΕΊΝΑΙ ΆΡΙΣΤΟΣ.

Το απόφθεγμα «Εἷς ἐμοὶ μύριοι, ἐὰν ἄριστος ᾖ» (ένας για μένα αξίζει όσο δέκα χιλιάδες, αν είναι άριστος), που αποδίδεται στον Ηράκλειτο, αναδεικνύει την ποιοτική υπεροχή της αρετής έναντι της ποσότητας. Στο ηρακλείτειο φιλοσοφικό πλαίσιο, ο «άριστος» είναι ο συνετός άνθρωπος που αντιλαμβάνεται τον «Λόγο» (την κοσμική αρμονία), υπερβαίνοντας την άγνοια των πολλών.

Ο Ηράκλειτος υποτιμά τις μάζες (τους «πολλούς»), θεωρώντας ότι ζουν σε πλάνη, ενώ εξυψώνει τον έναν που κατέχει τη γνώση και την αρετή.

Ο «άριστος» δεν ορίζεται από κοινωνική θέση, αλλά από την ηθική και διανοητική του ποιότητα, η οποία τον καθιστά ισάξιο με πλήθος ανθρώπων.

Η ικανότητα κατανόησης του κόσμου (Λόγος) είναι σπάνια, καθιστώντας τον σοφό άνθρωπο μοναδικό και εξαιρετικά πολύτιμο.

Why some people get stuck in a stooped posture as they age?

If you have poor posture and don't actively work to undo it, your connective tissue can literally grow into that position, leaving you in a frozen state that's incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to correct later on.

This is why daily stretching is so crucial! It's your ultimate defense against becoming stiff and immobile as you get older. You need to actively and aggressively prevent your body from getting fixed in unhealthy positions.

Dr. Andreas Moritz raises an interesting point about the potential harmful effects of sunglasses.
When sunglasses were first introduced, they became more than just a fashion statement; they may have contributed to an increase in certain health issues, including cancer.
The logic behind this is that sunglasses block vital sunlight from reaching our eyes, impacting the regulation of our body’s biological rhythms.

By shielding our eyes from natural sunlight, sunglasses may interfere with our body’s internal clock, affecting our overall health in ways we don't fully understand. While they protect against UV radiation, excessive use could disrupt the balance of light exposure necessary for proper circadian function and vitamin D production.

It’s important to consider the long-term impact of over-relying on such accessories. Moderation is key; sometimes, just allowing the eyes to adjust naturally to the environment could be the best way to protect your health. ☀️👓

Walking or running in snow requires lifting your foot higher, landing with the ball of the foot and making shorter steps.
In this activity you fully engage your core muscles as you need to keep in balance.
You also need to swing your arms harder in different directions. These are fundamental differences from cross country skiing as you involve almost all your muscles.
An added benefit is that walking/running in snow is easier for the joints than running on bare terrain.
•tip 1: Use gaters to avoid having snow in your socks
•tip 2: Avoid using boots if you’re a beginner.

Note:
Usually running in snow is a quiet and smooth process. The horse's hooves striking sound that you hear in this video is because there is a thick crust of ice underneath that breaks with every step.

As we approach the winter solstice it’s important to remember the importance of sunlight for our mental and physical wellbeing.

-Niels Ryberg Finsen was a pioneering doctor who won the Nobel Prize for using sunlight to heal people. His revolutionary work in the early 1900s was later erased from history. Finsen discovered that sunlight had healing properties that could treat a range of conditions. However, modern medicine overlooked his findings in favor of other treatments.

Finsen’s method was far ahead of its time. He used sunlight to treat conditions like lupus and other skin diseases. Sunlight therapy, in his hands, was not just a cure for physical ailments but also a holistic way to improve overall health and mental well-being.

His groundbreaking work in light therapy was lost in the shuffle, overshadowed by pharmaceutical advancements. In today’s world, we can rediscover the healing power of nature, following the example set by Finsen’s research. The benefits of sunlight are widely recognized, yet often underestimated.
