From holistic dentistry, holistic healthcare, etc&#8230;..Suddenly so many fields claiming to be holistic. And in the essence what they mean with holistic is treating an illness, a patient, or a problem, with a different view \/ perspective from the normal way. Some may call these approaches &#8220;alternatives&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>From these readings and experience, i told my wife that they&#8217;re not really holistic (for they&#8217;re still looking in part and not the whole). So i come up with the term <em>the holistic of holistic.<\/em> Which in essence, trying to combine all perspective and forming a new one after taking into account all the possible views.<\/p>\n<p>And so i just realized this. It&#8217;s not to say there&#8217;s no right and wrong, or good and bad. Those are absolute values which there&#8217;s right and wrong, good and bad choices and outcomes. But holistic of holistic means we need to see the whole as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Example:<br \/>\n&#8211; What job best for me?<br \/>\n&#8211; What I should be doing? Should i start my own business, or work for people?<br \/>\n&#8211; What business then? Or which company should i join?<\/p>\n<p>Applying holistic of holistic approach, will eventually lead to different answer for every person. Because every person is unique. It takes into account a person&#8217;s personality, values, and even course of events &amp; opportunities that will lead a person to A and not B, etc. In the sense, there&#8217;s no fixed answer. It varies and even for the same person, with different time and season in life, the answer may not be the same.<\/p>\n<p>The reverse is true. Others or most approach will only look into one or two variables, like capabilities, talent, personalities, and therefore decide what the best for a person. Without taking into consideration his\/her family situation, economy climate, situation surrounds him\/her, and probably some of his\/her dreams and aspirations which may be totally unrelated to his\/her talents and educations.<\/p>\n<p>So, my favorite answer to people: &#8220;it&#8217;s all depends&#8221; \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s something that I shared with my wife 2 years ago.
