More on illness
"Our lives are a mystery of growth from weakness to weakness, from the weakness of the little baby to the weakness of the aged.
Throughout our lives we are prone to fatigue, sickness and accidents.
Weakness is at the heart of each one of us.
Weakness becomes a place of chaos and confusion
if in our weakness we are not wanted;
it becomes a place of peace and joy
if we are accepted, listened to
appreciated and loved.
If we deny our weakness and the reality of death
if we want to be powerful and strong always,
we deny part of our being,
we live an ilusion".
Jean Vanier Becoming Human
