Why ‘Healthy’ is an Insult

27th Jul 201827th Jul 20181 Comment

When you see a loved one knowing they’ve been ill or in hospital, the natural thing to say is something along the lines of “you’re looking well” or “you look so much better.” Obviously, you wouldn’t say “you look really awful” even if it was true. You might encourage someone whether they have had a … Continue reading Why ‘Healthy’ is an Insult

Why Are We So Ashamed?

24th Jul 201827th Jul 2018Leave a comment
