A found quote
Searching through old papers for thoughts I might want to pull into a paper I'm writing (the one on moving into states of consciousness where we can access deeper parts of the self), I found this quote:
The measure of health is flexibility, the freedom to learn through experience, the freedom to change with changing internal and external circumstances, to be influenced by reasonable argument, admonitions, exhortation, and the appeal to emotions; the freedom to respond appropriately to the stimulus of reward and punishment, and especially the freedom to cease when sated … The essence of illness is the freezing of behavior into unalterable and insatiable patterns.
