Brian … I’m doing fine physically, thanks for asking…nothing money and proper healthcare and proactively being healthy can’t manage. And besides as all three of my doctor’s say, I’m in a lot better shape than others that think they are healthy but never has done any proactive screenings. those are the ones at higher risk of developing something in up until a late stage when it’s very different to treat. As with any condition, which everyone has (some just haven’t found their particular health issue. yet…) early detection, treatment, and awareness is critical. Being completely oblivious to what one has, on the other hand is the real killer. My grandpa is a perfect example of this. He was diagnosed with heptitis when he was 12-13 and his liver was really messed up. Doctor’s said he wouldn’t make it past 40. He took so damn well of himseld that outlived all of his other friends all the way to age 99 approximately. I said approximately because he kept telling us each year his birthday was 95 a few times such that we lost count, so it was at least 4-5 times… And he lived a fulfilling life, all the way to being vice-mayor of Taipei for a few years before he retired. I suspect he probably smoked opium at some point in his life, lol. It’s amazing what people can do if confronted with adversity they don’t adopt a loser mentality and put their energy into overcoming whatever limitations they have.
Furthermore, I thought about this. And conclusively I’d rather have a physical health issue that otherwise is manageable than some mental issues that is borderline socialpathic, to constantly wish for others to suffer or wish for something bad to happen to people one disagrees with, coupled with an addiction to a specific blog about real estate for which one is compelled to constantly respond and get the last word in. Because I don’t think there is any modern medicine that can fix that issue if one does not want to acknowledge and seek help. Mental health and stability is much more critical as one ages, because if untreated could result in an extremely negative and depressive life that can actually significantly reduce life expectancy much more so than any physical ailment. Unfortunately though, most of our medical health options z particularly the free ones do not cover mental health treatment, particularly Medicare. So if untreated while one is younger, it could be prohibitively expensive to treat in later life stages where one generally finds onself underinsured.
There’s actually many studies recently that people who take social media too seriously and who cannot decouple their online persona from their real life have developed social and mental issues, and on some cases have an addiction worse than drugs and alcohol, and currently there is no treatment for it.
And unlike you Brian, (which I indicated you would do- wish evil on people you don’t like, as once again proven here) , I do feel sorry for you and hope you seek help sooner versus later. Because your life is just as important as everyone else’s.
But tonight I will pray for your well being and being and for you to find your zen. Peace 🙂
