Our Existence Depends On Our Tendency To Heal

— Our existence as living creatures depends on our tendency to heal. It is one of the most vital aspects of who we are. Despite that, most of us are not aware of it. Not even to mention appreciate it. As a result, we rely on medicine to treat and cure our illnesses. The power of medicine can accomplish many miracles - Without it, I would be dead. However, medicine cannot heal us. The reason we heal is because we have a tendency to do so and by appreciating this process, often, its effects can be amplified. ~ Ed.
