“To control disease is called treatment,
To be aware of health is called wellness.”
― Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans
To be aware of health is called wellness.”
― Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans
“Health and Sickness (The Sonnet)
Health doesn't always come from pills,
Health comes through being mindful.
Pills just help bring down the barriers,
That clutter the body with deadly ghoul.
Wellness is not the absence of sickness,
It's the capacity to overcome sickness.
Some sickness are the norm of nature,
Others are products of our own foolishness.
The opposite of sickness is not its absence,
The opposite of sickness is its awareness.
To treat sickness we must first acknowledge it,
Sickness acknowledged is sickness half treated.
In the end, health favors those who favor humility.
Sustainability favors those who favor simplicity.”
― Find A Cause Outside Yourself: Sermon of Sustainability
