Reduce stress and disease by removing morons

So I’m reading through an article on Epilepsy and I come across this excerpt in the article – had to blog it…

By manipulating the diet and environment, [humans] can be made more or less [disease]-prone, and it happens that the changes that affect the brain affect all other organs, in ways that are now fairly well understood. Examining the cellular events associated with a [disorder] is useful for therapy and prevention of [disorders]… It is now clearly established that stress can cause brain damage, as well as other diseases. Now that our public health establishment has eliminated smoking from public places, maybe they can find a way to reduce stress and disease by removing morons from positions of power.

Question: Cravings?

Question:

“I love sweets. I love chocolate. I can eat so much chocolate in one sitting and I crave it basically every day. Could my body be lacking something and that’s why I crave sweets so much?”

Perspective:

I think the answer lies within the question…

crave

What are you lacking emotionally that had manifested itself into a craving for chocolate; specifically, a craving for self-satisfaction, for self-gratification, or for self-fulfillment? A craving is a physical action from a non-physical desire.

Cravings, no matter what they may be (chocolate, sex, money, drugs, power, etc.), result from a mental and emotional void that must be filled. There’s nothing wrong with a craving, but they can be dangerous when they result in self-descruction (physically and non-physically).

Try to understand your craving from an non-physical level: Why do you crave? What feelings do you get when you fulfill your craving (before, during, and after)? Does your craving make the void go away or enhance it? When did your craving occur? What events lead up to your craving? And the most important question(s): Are you happy with yourself, your life, your body, your mind, your reality?

Before anyone goes diagnosing themselves with physical ailments, I encourage you to address your non-physical self first – understand the cause of an issue, not its symptoms.
