DAY TWENTY-THREE

Key Theme: FAITH

SICKNESS/ STRESS

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “First, be a good animal.” Now this quotation might puzzle you at first, but think about it. No one advises animals in the wild, which they should feed, a fever or a cold. So how do the animals know what to do when they are sick or under stress or danger? They know by their bodies’ signals, and they instinctively follow them. Hunger sends them hunting for food. Nausea from a threat demands a fast. Thirst is an invitation to drink— to seek water. Satisfaction of these cues is the signal to stop. It’s not complicated. Maybe that’s why we humans have so much trouble with it.

“Studies with animals have found that obesity is not a naturally occurring phenomenon.” From “Fat Chance in a Thin World” NOVA Program #1007
