More ranty articles

[bladespark]

I wish I could take this article and pour it directly into fishy's brain. Actually, it would in a certain sense be much more satisfying to instead ram it down his throat, but that would probably be a bit much.

Anyhow, this is good stuff. I don't agree 100% with everything this gal writes, but a lot of the time it's very much in line with my own thoughts and experiences, and when it's not it's at least interesting stuff to think about. And she says a few things rather better than I do. And occasionally there are moments when I go "aieee, get out of my mind!" because her rants are rather eerily like my rants. Hrm. I could actually make some kind of career out of ranting, if I was just a little better at it. Who knew?

P.S. Totally unrelated, but my set puzzle record is now 39 seconds. Ha!

I think it's a need for a quick fix now - and it's not just psychological fixes its physical as well - from workers getting unnecessary surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome when their body wants, needs a rest to the people popping pain killers to kill the headache of an overstressed brain to people hating every day of their lives and just popping more pills to keep going

We - whether as individuals or society - don't give our bodies what we need. Our bodies and our minds protest and warn us as they are supposed to but we push it aside and keep forging forwards because we can't stop.

We need to stop saying "I feel ick, how do I fix it" and start asking "why do i feel ick?"
