Don't suffer from Psychoschlerosis...
I've read this morning about <*>sclerosis. Basically, sclerosis is hardening of anything...
Atherosclerosis is the progressive build up of plaque, fatty deposits, and other cells in the walls of your arteries causing them to harden. This horrible disease is the leading cause of coronary heart disease and stroke, which were responsible for 602,000 deaths in 2004 — more than 25% of all deaths in the United States. Each year about 1.2 million Americans are diagnosed with coronary heart disease and about 700,000 people suffer a stroke.
As staggering as these statistics are, I've read today that an even greater percentage of people around the world suffer from a cousin disease called Psychosclerosis.
Psychosclerosis is the hardening of the attitude (what??). I've re-read it again.. Apparently there is such a thing, and it causes a person to cease dreaming, seeing, thinking, and hoping for anything better. It is the hardening of the mind so that we become unteachable. It is the hardening of the heart, which takes away our ability to feel, love and believe. While this disease does not physically take lives, it might even be worse than the physical handicap.
Don’t let psychosclerosis ruin your life. And if you feel early symptoms, start running daily :)
