Thanks. > > Love, > Dharma Hello dharma, this is a strange question, what is balance?, life?, medicine?. Are water and salt not medicine according to a perspective, since it is needed. Those people? who are they? a general idea in ones mind, or people you came to live and know on a day to day basis? Why this question? I do not care if one takes water or not, I am more interested in knowing why some enjoy drinking water and others not. Enjoy living and others not. Even then... Yet i am curious as to why this question, what burns it to come out. Antoine Antoine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a burning question at all. )) I know someone who just discovered that her depression has a physical basis, is on medication, and now is happy every day, she says. So when I read about what Mike does, it occurred to me that I don't know whether people who need that medication will always need it or will be able to go off of it... so I asked. Simple curiosity. So why did my question burn you?? Love, Dharma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
