The doctor that acts out of love doesn't burn out. He or she may get tired physically, but not emotionally.

We destroy ourselves when we stop feeling. If you bury your feelings within you, you become a graveyard.

I grew up with sentiments such as, "Do what will make you happy, troubles are God's redirections that something good will come from, and that material things are to make the world a better place" and the latter came from my father because his father died of tuberculosis when he was twelve. They had no insurance, six kids and a hell of a time surviving.

So to me, what the drugs and addiction are saying is that I deserve to feel good, I'm allowed to take this because look how I was treated as a child. Our authority figures, particularly our parents are hypnotic. Their words are hypnotic literally to small children because of brain wave patterns.

There is no such thing as an incurable disease, only incurable people.

If you love people, you'll enjoy your life. If you don't, you won't love anything you do.

Getting well is not the only goal. Even more important is learning to live without fear, to be at peace with life and ultimately death.
