“Recovering from suffering is not like recovering from a disease. Many people don’t come out healed; they come out different. They crash through the logic of individual utility and behave paradoxically. Instead of recoiling from the sorts of loving commitments that almost always involve suffering, they throw themselves more deeply into them. Even while experiencing the worst and most lacerating consequences, some people double down on vulnerability. They hurl themselves deeper and gratefully into their art, loved ones and commitments.” PeopleArtDifferentSufferingIndividualWorstDiseaseCommitmentConsequenceLogicDeeperBehaveVulnerabilityLoved OnesCrashUtilityHealedRecovering Book:The Road to Character Source: The Road to Character
“The more I work with the body, keeping my assumptions in a temporary state of reservation, the more I appreciate and sympathize with a given disease. The body no longer appears as a sick or irrational demon, but as a process with its own inner logic and wisdom.” StatesBodyGivenProcessHealthExerciseHealthyDiseaseAppreciateLogicSickDietsAssumptionDemonTemporaryIrrationalReservations Author:George MacDonald
