Staying Sick

I've talked of slavery. I've mentioned how my German Prof, who was a translator at Nuremberg, stated that many in East Germany were comfortable being controlled. They got used to their leashes. Some people simply 'like' being told what to do. Or they are afraid to speak out, to resist.

I've talked of being sick. I've stated that a sick society is more easily controlled. Disease can be used as a tool to manipulate society. Both mental and physical illness, often together, are used as excuses rather than alarms that lead to treatment and healing. It can be that illnesses are contrived in order to accomplish compliance or silence.

Working with this, from the patient/client side, some are as comfortable with sickness as there are those 'at home' with government restraint.

Some people simply prefer to suffer. They are used to it. Any remedy is viewed with fear. I'm not talking hypochondria. I mean real illness, beyond delusion, with symptoms and actual bodily/mental disorder.

Not only can this evidence control from gov or other institutions, it can be a perverse control on the part of patients/clients. If said people can just stay sick, they can be assured they will not only get attention, but that there need not be any 'striving'. They stay 'safe', 'under the radar'. Can they be treated? Sure, but they must be convinced they need help and further, to help themselves at the same time.

As for the Republic, woe are we if this continues. We are sick with the disease of democracy. The cure as told before is to realize this and bring us back to health aka Constitutional Republic.

Of course, it's not as easy as it sounds. Being cured is frequently painful. There will be plenty of pain. But then this is always so, especially for that which is most precious.

If we have our health, we have everything.
