Health


Human beings have a physical existence and an inner thought/feeling experience. They have intimate, family, friendly and not so friendly relationships. They have roles. They may be earner, carer or both. They have interests. They are born. They grow up. They may or may not have kids. They go out into the world and do stuff. They get old. They die.

Some get wiser as they get older and some don't. Some are flexible and some are inflexible. Some have personality and others have schizo affective disorders. Some are psychopaths - they have no ability to empathise. They do violent things to others and to them it's no different to kicking a car. Some of us are wired to behave in ways that make no sense to the rest of us.

Some of us cruise through life. We find it easy to be with and deal with others. People warm to us and opportunities come our way. On the other hand some of us seem to have no luck whatsoever. We may be intelligent but don't feel we are - others end up treating us as if we aren't. Not so good things tend to fall into our laps. Some of us have little in the way of illness. Others have many diagnostic labels thrown at them.

Some people reckon they have it all worked out and when they get cancer they can not stop thinking about how unfair it is. Some very fit people have heart attacks and they too feel its not fair. Some smoke, drink and burn the candle at both ends and live long and healthy lives.

Life is not fair.

The danger with imposing your or my idea of health is a frightening prospect!

When you reckon you can change the world for the better realise that you are a tyrant in the making! Yes you may be an awfully nice person but the thing about nice people is that when they turn nasty they can become unbelievably nasty especially to those that challenge their genius.
