Living with Dementia

#BlackLivesMatter

"Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war. And until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the colour of a man's skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained... now everywhere is war."


- Popularized by Bob Marley in the song War”; Haile Selassie I, Selected Speeches.

Try not to Grease your 'Emotional Slope'

When going through a hard time,
try to imagine your future, happier self,
sending you back a message saying
“please keep going,
I promise you you’ll get through this
and life will be better again”.

#StayHomeSaveLives

Many of us fear boredom – even the faintest whiff of boredom sends us scurrying right back to the game.

Arthur Schopenhauer said that willing itself is never fulfilled - as soon as one wish is satisfied, another appears. Though there may be some very brief respite, some fleeting period of satiation, it is immediately transformed into boredom.

Every human life is tossed backward and forward between pain and boredom.

Economic Considerations of Obesity

Approximately 80% of GP consultations and 60% of hospital bed days are related to chronic illness and their complications, many of which are caused by, or exacerbated by, overweight and obesity. Bariatric surgery, considered the last management option for the morbidly obese, is estimated to cost approximately €30,200 per gastric bypass procedure and €20-€22,000 for gastric banding.

No disease that can be treated by diet should be treated with any other means ~ Maimonides.
