It may seem so, but we are not. We simply seem to read the signs quite well. There is a difference between having health issues and “being unhealthy”. Just like there is a difference between feeling sadness and being full-on depressed. Every stage is a warning sign towards what can happen if we ignore it.
… we simply react quicker to whatever is bad for everyone. Listen to the warning signs everywhere. Here is one example:
Although manufacturers have long since abandoned using asbestos products as insulation, the material was once widely used as insulation for heating and air conditioning systems. Because asbestos is most dangerous when airborne, these outmoded air conditioning systems pose a significant public health hazard. By and large, campaigns to identify and replace air conditioning systems using this toxic material have been successful. However, many systems still remain, often unbeknownst to their owners.
I wasn’t “being unhealthy” or “too sensitive”. I simply listened to my body rather than complaining about not being able to sleep. The cause is key. And recognizing the cause may have given me a few additional years to live.
