health
“Public health is amazing. It’s not just about saving lives. As health improves, life improves by every measure. Every other problem you’re dealing with–education, transporation–becomes far easier to manage. As you improve health, literacy goes up dramatically, people have smaller families, and all of the factors that drive a stable, prosperous society come together.”
–Bill Gates
“Complacency breeds anxiety. To be healthy, a person needs to be affecting his surroundings, uplifting those about him and bringing in more light.
Despair is a cheap excuse for avoiding one’s purpose in life.
And a sense of purpose is the best way to avoid despair.”
––From the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe; rendered by Tzvi Freeman
Depression
“Do you think grief is anything like depression? Go with grief. It’s better. In grief you’re at least feeling a rich, deep feeling. In depression you don’t even have that, it’s just that awful feeling of nullity.”
–Dick Cavett
