Are We Our Brother's Keeper?

A saying from the Bible's story of Cain and Abel. After Cain had murdered his brother Abel, God asked him where his brother was. Cain answered, “I know not; am I my brother's keeper?”

Cain's words have come to symbolize people's unwillingness to accept responsibility for the welfare of their fellows — their “brothers” in the extended sense of the term. The tradition of Judaism and Christianity is that people do have this responsibility.

Somethings are real weather we agree, or believe it or not "it just is" everything we do effects someone else whether it is our intention our not, even if we don't see it. 

Holistic Health

Holistic health includes not only treating or curing specific symptoms, but also supports promoting the overall health and well-being of individuals, families and communities. Spirituality and religion have a role to play in this aspect of holistic health by supporting actions that enhance physical and mental health. For example, many traditions address caring for the body, avoiding behaviors that debase body and spirit, or support healthy diet choices. Holistic health and mental health approaches can also offer opportunities to promote spiritual well-being.

Holistic health recognizes that for some individuals and families, the experience of illness and pain may relate to spiritual concerns and that those concerns may manifest as physical or emotional symptoms.

Holistic health approaches address not only curing or treating a specific physical ailment, but also ensure that support and comfort are provided to the individual and his or her family and community. Thus, holistic care would address the care and support of families who have a child or other member who is seriously or chronically ill or has a disability. It would address the pain of the bereaved. Part of that support can include spiritual and religious resources.

When seeking quality care, reference is often made to its being “holistic.” Each person, adult and child, in a clinical encounter - patient, family members, and health and mental health care providers - enters with his or her own personal configuration of body, mind, and spirit. For each individual, the component parts may have different levels of significance and, for some, the “spirit” part may not be important at all.

Rarely is one person’s configuration identical to that of others. There may be many similarities or there may be extreme differences (even among family members, or between the patient and the provider). Importantly, health and mental health care providers may have to negotiate their own notions of what is perceived to be a professional rather than a personal map. 

Traditionally in health and mental health care settings, providers have become comfortable with treating the mind and the body, but the “spirit” part, the whole person, continues to elude us
