Every time you pick up a newspaper, or magazine, there are all sorts of articles about health in there. Giving you the recipe for the perfect diet, the perfect intake of this or that. You have to look at your diet, your weight, your food, and vitamin intake. Then, whether to be vegetarian, or white/lean meat only, or eat what you like, maybe a full out carnivore. Do you drink alcohol? Or no alcohol. Do you drink a little? Surely, a little is good for you? Or, Is it good for you, not good for you, I can't remember now, what did it say? Water, yes, what about water, some water, six pints of waters daily, spa water, tap water. Fizzy drinks, non fizzy drinks. Then, what about sugar, no sugar, fruit sugar, honey....honey yes, that's got to be it. Natural is good isn't it. Or, is that out if date now?
What about stimulants, no coffee, no tea, no coca cola, no alcohol, some alcohol. Drugs, have you ever touched those? Now we are getting to the bigger questions, the serious stuff. Or, are they, it all seems to be important when you read the articles. Have you tried Wacky baccy, sorry, marijuana, or class A drugs, or none. Is there something in between...ahh I know Ketamine, that's the latest. I know, I know, I watch the the TV. programs. It takes a lot of keeping up with. I get confused that's for sure. Perhaps it's only prescription medication that's bad for you. Doctors doping us all up on antidepressants, or even giving out too many antibiotics. They say they don't work anymore. What about super nits? Hey? Who wants them...stratch stratch.
No, doctors have it wrong don't they, giving out drugs, willy nilly. Then, whether they want to do it right or not, there are restrictions on how long we can stay in their office....crazy, targets. It's all about targets with the police too. Solve this many crimes, does it have to be the right people arrested, or will anyone do? How can people be reduced to bare numbers on a sheet. That can't be right. Especially with the doctors, you're vulnerable if you're ill, or your child is ill. Really crazy, how long we must wait to get even get into their surgery at all. How many patients they have, how rich are they getting...oh, and dentists...they are the WORST, so I read...oh there's a lot of dodgy stuff going on there it seems. At least, if the papers are to be believed. Is it all about profit, big business. Prescription drugs are actually the worst, are they though? Maybe? Who knows! How am I to know any more. Maybe we are just all eating ourselves to death, if not over eating, then with additives in our food we know nothing about. So, it doesn't matter.
Such an avalanche of information, and accusations flying about. They can certainly be just as bad I hear, how many stars have snuffed out their talented light, with simple pain killers, or antidepressants. All doctors prescriptions, It's all crazy anyway, isn't it. Where does all this gossip come from. How did we get it all so wrong. Still it's not just gossip is it, it's actual stars...dead. That's not good, we can't afford to lose talented people, nice people. Who is protecting the nice people anyway, the vulnerable, the children. If it's not the doctors, the police, if we can't even trust the food manufactures.
Dare I think about food, an overweight nation, an over weight world. Ohhhh, what about pollution....we are to blame, we are to blame for everything apparently. The use of fossil fuels, global warming, or politicians taking kick backs to say that how it is. Just big business. Or, we are not to blame, natural, some say. Are we using too much water, or, are we drowning in floods, or snow storms. The coldest winter in decades, America colder than the Antarctic? Who's to blame for that? Someone must be. Last year, it was England with an eight month winter..snow at Easter, crazy. What about conservation, what about food. Full fat, no fat, adding too much sugar if they take the fat out, eight spoons of sugar in a can of drink. Surely not, who would make drinks that way, then sell them? To people, to children, sugar in everything, in processed food, in bread, in savoury things. How come? It's not right is it.
No wonder we keep trying diets, soup diet, cabbage diet, crazy diet ideas. Eat less, excercise more. No, don't diet without excercise, running, cross training, swimming, cardio this, cardio that. Training shoes, for running, for walking, for the gym, gotta be the right ones. Gymns springing up everywhere, getting people fit again is big business. I wonder at what point the government will step in, and dictate what excercise you must do, and how much it will cost you. Carrot, and the stick, always.
Ok, it's a lot to sort out, a lot to take in, and even more to understand. Do you understand this world today. Sometimes I think I do, which is a bit scary on its own, isn't it? That I think I understand all of this nuttiness, is worrying.
You know, I think I've cracked it, don't try to make sense of it. Not this modern world. Decide which little bit you can work with, maybe just this week, or this month. Then don't worry about the rest. Work on your little bit, feel good about your small goals, or your big ones. Be kind to those you love, smile at people you meet, and be loyal to those who deserve it.
Look at the beauty in this world, ignore all the crazies.
Love.....
Love you all, why not?
