How does Yoga help me to have more self-love? Through self-acceptance.
⠀
In the beginning, there is a craving for magic formulas to remedy your pain. Unable to heal herself, she casts the healer out. It is natural that for a long time the eyes are still turned outwards and any attempt to define yourself starts from a comparison with something external to you. It's tiring to live belittling yourself all the time, isn't it?
⠀
The essence of Yoga is the attentive, observant and receptive look for everything that emerges in sensations, thoughts, emotions and movements, and it is the constant exercise of this gaze that strengthens in itself, before any intimate transformation, a process of rediscovering oneself. What am, am, feel or think all the time and I don't notice? Realizing that there is a vast world of “new” information to be appreciated is a beautifully grandiose thing for a person.
⠀
This attitude of openness to self-observation is, in itself, a way of welcoming and practicing self-acceptance. The honest quest to see what was previously invisible to your conscious eyes is also a permission you give yourself to be yourself. Every meaningful transformation and transmutation of life is preceded by an acceptance of who you are now.
⠀
Your ups and downs, joys and sorrows, qualities and defects, virtues and shadows, truths and omissions, are the scribbles of your story, ink on the sheet forming the paragraphs of your life and each letter or comma make up something of rich meaning for those you is today. Self-acceptance is not about being passive about your issues, but about not reacting in a denial or reactive way with yourself, and then evolving from what is seen.
⠀

有經濟學好友引述知名聯邦巡迴法院法官R. Posner對隱私權與營業秘密的經濟概念類比:
「The most interesting question in privacy law is whether a person should have a right to conceal embarrassing facts about himself — for example that he is an ex-convict. ...... Should he be encouraged to deceive these people, by being given a right to sue anyone who unmasks his hidden “defects”? At least on economic grounds, the answer seems to be no. It would be different if what was “unmasked” was not an embarrassing fact but a superb dinner recipe. We would then be in the realm of the trade secret, broadly defined, and the case would be no different in principle from the theft of a secret formula by a commercial rival. Here secrecy is a method of enforcing an informal property right and encourages an investment in a socially valuable idea. Concealing discreditable facts about a private individual, a firm, or a product does not.」
正確來說,Posner在argue的是傳統common law對隱私權的處理。
我分幾點說:
1. 我並不認同Posner的經濟分析,因為privacy的權利本質與trade secret畢竟不同,前者與後者的收入也不同。前者在common law底下保護的收入更多是personality,後者則純粹是monetary income。
2. 傳統common law對privacy的保護是放在「侵權行為(tort)」底下,原則上公認的四種隱私權侵害態樣:
a. appropriation by defendant of plaintiff's picture or name for defendant's commercial advantages;
b. intrusion by the defendant upon plaintiff's affairs or seclusion;
c. publication by the defendant of facts placing the plaintiff in a false light; and
d. public disclosures of private facts about the plaintiff by the defendant
第一種就是所謂的肖像權,通常是把名人的照片或名字未經授權拿去從事商業行為。這種不是Posner談的狀況,但卻是落在純粹的金錢收入。
後面三種行為都要求"highly offensive to a reasonable person"或"actual malice",而且相較於其他侵權行為訴訟,這三種隱私權受侵害原告只需要證明「侵害行為存在」,並不需要證明「所受損害」即可成立。反之,營業秘密侵害並不要求"actual malice or highly offensive"之存在,僅需故意、重大過失或違背保密義務即可構成。但營業秘密,原則上是需要證明損害存在與損害額度。除了少數原告不能證明損害,由法官判斷。
這點差異之所以存在,我認為就是因為侵權行為法在處理隱私權受侵害本來就不是以「金錢收入」為基本考量點,而是以保護personality;但營業秘密則完全考量金錢收入,反而不考量原告的personality。
當然,personality是什麼沒有明確定義,在美國法體系下就是靠大量判決累積畫出邊界。
3. 這就回到Armen Alchian著名的「THE MEANING OF UTILITY MEASUREMENT」論文所提出的觀念:如果把personality看成經濟學上的一種utility,則經濟理論上關於量度我們只能做到對utility的偏好做排列,卻無從得出絕對數值。
這點就是我認為Posner犯錯的地方:privacy訴訟大部分情形下是武斷的utility判斷,無法像trade secret那樣有「可能市價」參考損失額度。
這一塊又是海耶克理論的進一步應用了 -- i.法院體系雖然不是市場交易體系,但處理糾紛賠償通常還是要引入外部市場價格作為參考,但;
ii.某些侵權行為損害額計算沒有市價可供引導,法官必須武斷地判斷,這肯定會存在非常高的訊息費用。
但反之,無法引入市價指引,不代表損害不存在,法律上可據此不給予保護。

Naaman was a leper, meaning that his skin was filled with lesions.
Even though he was a respected captain of the army of the king of Syria, I believe his ravaged skin must have made him feel ashamed, inferior and self-conscious.
Perhaps through God’s Grace you’ve accumulated a lot of blessings in this life. Everything is going well except for your skin that makes you feel self-conscious and unhappy.
Read on.
“So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean.” But Naaman was angry, and went away, and said, “Behold, I thought, ‘He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leper.’ Aren’t Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in them, and be clean?” So he turned and went away in a rage. His servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, “My father, if the prophet had asked you do some great thing, wouldn’t you have done it? How much rather then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean?’” Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.” (2 Kings 5:9-14 WEB)
Elisha’s message to Naaman was simple: wash in the river Jordan seven times and his flesh would be cleansed and restored.
However Naaman’s initial reaction was to show contempt for the simple command. The way he imagined he would get healed was totally different.
He thought it would be a dramatic display of power by the prophet.
Naaman reasoned that the rivers of Damascus were far better than the waters of Israel.
God’s word is likened to water (Ephesians 5:26). Perhaps you too unconsciously underestimate the power that’s available in the simple act of hearing.
Just keep hearing God’s word and you’ll be transformed.
“Yeah right, as if it’s so easy. What can hearing accomplish for me? I rather spend the time doing something actually productive about it.”
“My friend said this skin product is good. It’s very expensive so it must be good. Oh yeah that skin expert also said that this skincare routine will improve my skin. I better do that too...”
Do you disdain the water of God’s word and find that the skincare solutions of the world are better?
Do you think it’s more effective to do something by your own limited understanding and ability than to exercise faith in God’s promises?
Some believers would rather God tell them to climb the tallest mountain and use the water up there to wash their face and that would restore their damaged skin.
The sinful flesh just wants to do something that it can boast about and deserve its achievements.
Others expect God to shine a bright light down from Heaven and wash over them seven times dramatically to cause a full skin restoration.
After all, if it’s too simple and unspectacular, it can’t be true right? That’s what the flesh says.
When Naaman finally did as Elisha commanded and washed in the river Jordan seven times, seven being the number of perfection, his skin was restored like the flesh of a little child—he was given a fresh start, a new beginning!
The power to heal Naaman was not in the river Jordan.
No, the power to heal was in the anointed command that the Lord gave to Elisha—in other words, acting upon God’s word cleansed and restored Naaman’s flesh.
Dear brethren, God’s word is the water that can work this perfect cleansing in you and it has the power to transform your skin as well and restore its beauty.
When you receive and believe God’s word, the rivers of living water (Holy Spirit) inside you will be activated with power, transforming you into Jesus’ own image.
The glorified Jesus in Heaven has no blemish or spot—He is altogether lovely. A sinless being with no pockmarks, acne, or skin defects.
There is hope for your skin. No matter how damaged it is, the perfect water of God’s word and the Living Water indwelling you can turn everything around.
With God nothing is impossible, especially if there’s a precedent in His word.
Just like Naaman’s skin was restored like a little child’s, I’m believing that yours will also become smooth, clear, fresh, soft and beautiful!
Pray with me:
Dear Abba Father, thank you for giving us the Scriptures which contain power to transform us into Jesus’ own image, even to restore our youth and skin until it’s fresher than a little child’s. There’s hope for us in Christ. Help us to continue faithfully receiving your Word and being transformed by the Holy Spirit from glory to glory. In Jesus’ most precious name we pray, Amen!
