Body and Mind

Acting upon your feelings is always harder than it seems. Why do you think this is? The mind has an incredible control on the body. In fact, you can deny your feelings to the point that it makes you sick. Physically sick. Maybe it is your body's way of telling you "I NEED YOU TO DO THIS." Your mind and body will fight until you give in or give up. Obviously some people rarely battle with their feelings, as acting upon them is not an issue for consideration. They act without questioning. In all likelihood that is exactly what your mind wants.

So, what is left of those who constantly ignore what their mind is telling them? Are they the pill poppers and heavy drinkers? Are the ones that go as far as taking their own lives the ones that have the most internal turmoil? Probably. It makes sense. The body can only take so much.

In a deeper question, can the body truly overcome the mind? It seems much more likely that the mind could overcome the body, as it seems many people act without thinking. If you had to choose between the two extremes, would you rather have full control over your mind (thinking) or body (acting)? Too be honest, I am not really sure yet.
