Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 A human being doesn't live on a separate island independent of everyone else - either physically or mentally! While you take large responsibility of the well being and inner health of your body it is still defined by the *food* that are available to you and you eat and its strength and its durability is also defined by the *practice* [exercise or *work*] that you do! Your body to a large extent does get impacted by the INPUT... Even when you have somewhat adequate inner strength, still you find yourself vulnerable to bacteria, viruses, diseases that you come into CONTACT with. Depending on the extent, duration and nature of the contact as well as your own inner strength you get affected more or less! But, ultimately no *body* is 100% immune to all external forces! Your mind [its 'mode' and emotions] are No exception! To some extent, they do get defined, changed, altered and affected by the input and contact! Alcohol, drugs, anesthetics are one example... communication both verbal, written, as well *body language* is another example! Almost no sane person claims that his *mind* is 100% immune from external agents like alcohol and drugs, anesthetics ... [and, that also show that mind and body do work in somewhat similar way] no matter whether he/she is labeled a 'sage' or an ordinary person! Expressed emotions like hate, anger, love, affection, kindness, compassion too do travel, influence and impact in similar way! And, nobody is 100% immune from them!
