Interesting post, Sarah. I've always been very confused by the pro-life brigade in places where some of their beliefs and practices seem to be more pro-death than anything.I love your take on how we euthanise our hearts. Food for thought, eh?
Interesting… I've been thinking similar thoughts … about Gabor Mate's book "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts" where he talks about addictions and what goes on in the brain… and he says when addictive people take a drug the reason they are addicted is because it feels like a "warm hug"… they aren't having/haven't felt that sensation in life and the high brings comfort to them… most people now have something they use that isn't healthy to bring them comfort… to be healthy you need the comfort of a warm hug… it is supposed to be something built into our systems in childhood but this is missing… if there isn't enough relaxing joy in life what would make you want to go on any longer than you have to, especially when life certainly gets harder…
