“Primum non nocere, 'First, don't make things worse,' was an essential principle of Hippocrates' medicine. Nowadays, unfortunately, it seems to have been forgotten. Conventional modern medicine aims at getting rid of patients' symptoms.

When this is the case, suppressing the symptom does not necessarily help the patient.”
“The existence of excessive nationalism is a symptom of a deeper problem in the collective consciousness, which is continually being exploited.”
“When we are offended in our relationship our feelings generally move through 4 stages: hurt anger revenge destructive action psychosomic symptoms depression. One of the best ways to neutralize the cycle is to force ourselves back to the source of hurt and deal with the problem at that level.”
“It is ever true that he who does nothing for others, does nothing for himself.”
