“Thank God I never hooked on anything. I never had a monkey on my back. I just wanted to self-medicate, to numb myself through liquor.

“The most necessary task of civilization is to teach people how to think. It should be the primary purpose of our public schools. The mind of a child is naturally active, it develops through exercise. Give a child plenty of exercise, for body and brain. The trouble with our way of educating is that it does not give elasticity to the mind. It casts the brain into a mold. It insists that the child must accept. It does not encourage original thought or reasoning, and it lays more stress on memory than observation.” PeopleThinkingWayGivingShouldMindChildrenDoeBodySchoolPurposeMemoriesBrainAcceptingTeachTroubleExerciseCivilizationTasksStressOriginalsLaysCastsActiveObservationPlentyPrimariesReasoningPublic SchoolMoldOriginal ThoughtElasticity Author:Thomas A.

“Stress does not cause pain, but it can exacerbate it and make it worse. Much of chronic pain is 'remembered' pain. It's the constant firing of brain cells leading to a memory of pain that lasts, even though the bodily symptoms causing the pain are no longer there. The pain is residing because of the neurological connections in the brain itself.” DoePainLastsCausesMemoriesHealingBrainHealthSelf ImprovementConnectionsStressConstantCellsRememberedSymptomsFiringChronic PainBrain Cells Author:Herbert Benson
