Thought-provoking post as usual! First of though I got to thank you for your comment on my confused post as it was an eye-opener : ) well, a heart-opener too! Thank you : ) As for your post here, moderation is always the first thing that comes to mind when life and how it's lived is mentioned. The balanced way, the golden mean, all cultures and all people have come to the conclusion that to live a good life, one must do everything in moderation. So, by all means go to the doctor when something is bothering you moderately or severely but don't sweat the small stuff. I have a friend who's an emergency doctor and she gets people who come in with paper cuts and headaches!!! People of older generations lived a slower paced life and so they had less stress which is among the major risk factors for many majorly serious health conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease and so on. So yea, the more time goes by, the more advanced we become, the faster we need to move to keep up and that takes a toll on the human body. Good post, keep them coming! Tee Hey UTP!

Our ancestors were certainly luckier to get pure food and pure air and less stressful lifestyle. However, some people consider our generation lucky as we experience all the tech advancements and stuff like that. But I somehow like the old times mainly because the purity and simplicity.
