I agree to an extent, except it is so simplified as to almost suggest blaming the victim.

Yes, every thought we have influences us and our health and if we give up all expectations and devote ourselves to meditation and prayer and someone else is paying our bills so we can...then Yes, we will have less stress induced illness.

Butterbean,

I disagree with your quote from Buddha. I know for me it doesn't fit. I was dropped on my head by my brother when I was a day old. There is nobody to blame, it was an accident, pure and simple.

I think pretty much most of us here are not responsible for their neurological disorders. They are inherited, or caused by disease, or an accident such as an in my case.

Peace,
Andrew

Do you think your tumor was your fault? I am a bit confused as to why you chose this quote?

I don't think this quote from Buddha is assigning blame at all, rather it is about what we do with our lives—how we choose to respond to what comes our way, whether it be illness, events that traumatize us, or our inherited genes. We do make choices; regardless of things we have no control over, there remain some, which we do. Despite the challenges we may have in life, we can write our own story.

I do not agree with that completely.

Yes, we can have a great attitude and we can live right and healthy but some things are out of our control.

My opinion.

Well, I said there are somethings we have no control over.

Exactly, Liam. Your explanation is so perfect, I'll leave it at that. Why meddle with perfection? LOL

Everyone has their own story to tell, not just the sick. What about the poor, the needy, the wealthy, the independent, the dependent, and so on and on?
