This was, without a doubt, a general disease. I could find no better word for it: To ignore the natural wisdom of one’s body, to shun all the signals it constantly sends you about what to pursue and what to avoid, and to trust instead in the things told to you by your superiors, to base your life choices on their words and not on your own inner compass, was a disease. It was a disease because those who did this could not help but be confused, conflicted, and miserable.
