Sickness, whether mental or physical, seems to be one of several ways in which people express self-protest against a way of life that will not support wellness. People become ill, not just because of germs, viruses, trauma, or stress, but because these assaults fall upon receptive hosts. People become sick because they live sickening ways of life! The healthier people, when they find their present ways of life dull, frustrating, or tedious, pay attention to their "all is not well" signals and change what they are doing, including their ways of behaving with others.
