Okay... I'm just trying to figure this out. I think it's because if you've never been healthy, you don't know what healthy feels like. Sort of like my saying that before I visited Providenciales, I had no idea how beautiful a place could be... how amazing the color of water could be, the color of the sky, the color of dirt, the heat, the fresh breeze that never stops, the feeling of vibrant life that emanates from the place.
Maybe it was just my happiness and the feeling of overwhelming, joyous freedom from all the cares in life, combined with the wild beauty that gave it special meaning to me.
I believe that the ultimate freedom is being healthy in every respect - mind, spirit, body. Having addictions,compulsions, and untrue beliefs are all shackles to a slavery that oppresses and kills the spirit, the life.
I want to be free.
