We would like you to start with the realization that there is nothing wrong with you, but there is something quite wrong with your method. Now think about why you enjoyed this moment so much. How do you handle boredom? The more gross illnesses, from accident, contagion, and malignancy, we need not consider here, but only those intangible injuries that disable people who are relatively sound in the physical sense.
