We may all agree on the meaning of physical health as being free of injury or illness, but we may disagree on the meaning of psychological health. The way I see it, what makes us appear mentally healthy actually causes much of our unhealthiness. In general, is there is anything unhealthier for us as individuals and as societies than selfishness? Behind selfishness resides all kinds of fear, especially of not having enough or of not being enough as an individual. Besides causing unhealthy behaviors, this fear propels us to contribute to destructive ideas, as well as to create mental and physical structures for protection. By acting and reacting to irrationality (fear) all the time, we reinforce our thinking minds’ reality over that of our hearts'.
