Do you mean eastern?
The western culture is the one that has a lot of focus on the physical aspects and comforts of life. Arguably, many times too much focus on that which has been detrimental for many people's own psychological and spiritual well-being.
- keiferski 6y agoBy physical I meant bodily, as in, connected with the body. Our predominant mental model seems to be that our mind/head is the real person, while the body is just sort of an add-on. The intellectual is superior to the bodily; developing the mind while neglecting the body is completely acceptable (see: obesity statistics). And so on. This is mostly just a consequence of a society over-reliant on technology, I'd say.
