Suppressing emotions, or not speaking out when you want to say something, is a mechanical act in your body. It’s like bending your knee the wrong way.
Modern psychiatry is the equivalent of hitting your own knee with a hammer, and the doctor saying, “I see there’s something wrong with your knee.” The observation isn’t wrong, but the underlying cause isn’t visible. If you don’t stop the bleeding, you end up with an endless list of psychiatric diseases.
There’s also a big fundamental problem: people (like I did myself) who suppress their own emotions for too long start to believe they have brain diseases, which is like a double hit. For most people, there’s nothing actually wrong with them.
Like you talk to somebody else. Doesn’t have to be me.
Feeling both feet at the same time.
Do you feel the inside of your body?
The Art of Living
Sometimes it’s Buddhism, sometimes religion, sometimes science, sometimes working out, sometimes nothing, sometimes moments of silence — that’s the art of living.
