# RKS: THE 5ICE OF LIFE - The Five Of '5'

# RKS: THE 5ICE OF LIFE
- The Five Of '5'




1st January 2021

Dear Reader,

They say life revolves around the mystique number '5'. The honey or the very basis of life is '5', but 'FIVE' is also the desires, aspiration, spice and poison in existential living. 


THE ESSENTIAL '5'

5 ELEMENTS OF LIFE: All matter is composed of five basic elements which inhere the properties of earth (pritvi), water (jala), fire (tejas), wind (vayu) and space (akasha).  According to Chinese medicine, human beings have five major internal organ systems: heart, liver, lungs, kidneys and spleen, and each of these corresponds to one of the five elements.

5 SPECIAL SENSES: Nerves relay the signals to the brain, which interprets them as sight (vision), sound (hearing), smell (olfaction), taste (gustation) and touch (tactile perception).

THE SOCIAL '5'

5 GIANT EVILS OF SOCIETY: It is 75 years since William Beveridge set out his vision of a welfare state; he identified what he called the five “giant evils” that could mar the welfare of a state or nation – Want, Disease, Squalor, Ignorance and Idleness. 

5 THIEVES IN ALL OF MANKIND: These five vices or 'thieves' are kaam (lust), krodh (rage), lobh (greed), moh (attachment) and ahankar (conceit or superego). 

THE ASPIRATIONAL '5'

5 CAREER STAGES: Regardless of the type of work we do, most people will go through five career stages during their adult years: exploration, establishment, mid-career, late career and decline.

5 FIGURE SALARY: While we may all dream of making a million or millions, or even winning this kind of money, the reality is most people will make a '5' figure salary.

THE '5' SINS

5 ADDICTIONS: The common '5' deep affections and adorations that ultimately culminate in addiction include: substance abuse (alcohol, nicotine products, drugs), digital world (net surfing, cell phone, social media), workaholism, dromomania (wanderlust, frequent traveling) and unfettered Godman subservience.

5 HAPPINESS TRAPS: McKee is the author of How to Be Happy At Work and shared five happiness traps that can well, trap us, and how to escape being snared by each one: work trap, ambition trap, money trap and 'should' trap (desirous of expectations, entitlement, gratitude).

THE '5' HEALTH CONCERNS

5 CRITICAL ILLNESSES: Insurance policies are specifically designed to cover most dreaded '5' diseases and sufferings: kidney failure requiring regular dialysis; stroke resulting in permanent symptoms, paralysis due to diabetes and other causes, cancer and, above all, heart attack culminating in a bypass operation.

5 FOOD POISONS: Pasteurised milk (nutrients lost during processing), refined white rice, white flour (maida: nutrients missing), salt and sugar are considered the '5' poisons of life and blamed for all our illnesses. Why? Because, in reality, all these contain ZERO or practically no fibre!

What is conversed in TODAY's day-to-day living is the focussed upon evils of salt and sugar intake. The casual party discussions, following reading purposefully searched reported stuff, has gained entry into the home culinary and has now barged into minds of medical professionals - leading to possibly distorted advising and personal implementing! These will be dealt with in the salt and sugar intake related special blogs slated for February & March 2021.

The numerical '5' is the 'guardian angel' number. The '5' number is linked to five attributes -  independence, curiosity, adventure, experience and intelligence. The harnessing, nurturing or achieving these attributes can only be with a constant change - in every sphere (even partners!) - one is easily bored of routine daily living and lifestyle. 

BUT '5' also denotes balance and for seeking the same the following need to be adopted and cultivated -

  1. ... Family
  2. ... Friends
  3. ... Fauna 'n Flora
  4. ... Fantasize
  5. ... Fun n Frolic

Remember balancing '5' translates to a harmonious living and a path to happiness.
