“It's just one of those days
One of those days which you can't concentrate on anything
Where everyone around you is loud yet you can't hear it
Stuck in your own little world
Not really feeling any kind of emotion
Just a little uncertain
Just need a little break away from everyone
Just a break to re-energise
I guess we all need one of those days”

“For more than half a century now, we have treated the trials of sickness, aging, and mortality as medical concerns. It's been and experiment in social engineering, putting our fate in the hands of people valued more for their technical prowess than for their understanding of human needs. That experiment has failed... we seek a life of worth and purpose, yet are routinely denied the conditions that might make it possible, there is no other way to see what modern society has done.”
