“The rushed existence into which industrialized, commercialized man has precipitated himself is actually a good example of an inexpedient development caused entirely by competition between members of the same species. Human beings of today are attacked by so-called manager diseases, high blood pressure, renal atrophy, gastric ulcers, and torturing neuroses: they succumb to barbarism because they have no more time for cultural interests.” MenHumansTodayInterestHuman BeingsBusinessExistenceBloodExampleDevelopmentMembersDiseasePressureCompetitionSpeciesManagersMore TimeNeurosisBarbarismGood ExamplesBlood PressureAtrophyHigh Blood PressureUlcersGastric Author:Konrad Lorenz

“People say, "I have heart disease," not "I am heart disease." Somehow the presumption of a person's individuality is not compromised by those diagnostic labels. All the labels tell us is that the person has a specific challenge with which he or she struggles in a highly diverse life. But call someone "a schizophrenic" or "a borderline" and the shorthand has a way of closing the chapter on the person. It reduces a multifaceted human being to a diagnosis and lulls us into a false sense that those words tell us who the person is, rather than only telling us how the person suffers.” PeopleWayHumansHeartPersonsSufferingChallengesJusticeHuman BeingsStruggleDiseaseDiversitySocial JusticeIndividualityLabelsDiverseChaptersClosingDiagnosisPresumptionHeart DiseaseSchizophrenicLullsBorderlineShorthand Author:Martha Manning
