> Isn't it interesting how you read/hear/see something at the same time when you

were thinking about it a lot? I was just going to post something in here,

asking ppls thoughts about illness and dis-ease. See, I had a bit of a

breakdown/crisis/blowup two nights ago, because I'm home sick from school, and

I'm constantly reminded of how long I've been sick, which causes me to think of

getting better. But this is a setback in itself, because no medicine seems to

want to help me, and my doctor recently reccommended I consider surgery. Now,

this has led me to a lot of confusion, because there are all these spiritual

types saying that "pain is an illusion- go beyond your mind, and the pain will

cease to be". Then there are those who say that the pain is real, a part of

reality- so accept it. Well, I am totally

> confused. Can't there be more than one way to a certain end? Ugh.
