8.27.15 Reflections of genes, circumstance and choice

     In our culture we unconsciously learn that our bodies are machines and if a 'part' malfunctions , it is betraying us. 

     Interesting , huh? 

     So we get angry at our body. At cells that quietly become more and more distressed that they have no choice but to malfunction . 

     We get angry and 'hate' heart disease and cancer.

      Now , it makes absolute sense to get angry at getting sick. 

     But our bodies. ? Suffering , struggling long before they begin to limp . 

     So the imperative becomes for us ,as a culture , to become familiar with common safe ways of living, of supporting health problems ,so they don't progress. 

     Because we want to live healthy lives that feel good, we want to learn that our bodies have a state of health that is simply a reflection of the genes we inherited, the circumstances we find ourselves in, the emotional interpretations our bodies endure, and the choices we make each day.
