A message to someone that still needs to grow a clue.
After several years of screwing your body over eating things you shouldn't, doing things to it that you shouldn't, and doing things with it like you should but didn't, one still expects that this form of abuse will have the consequences go away with a pill or two?
I'm talking about lifestyle diseases that could've been preventable. I know genetics play a strong role on how things happen but part of the triggers also include being averse to good health decisions. Birth defects, and accidents I can understand because these are things that are outside the individual's control but diseases brought by poor lifestyle choices? that's a choice.
I never run out of stories hearing people's regret over making poor health decisions at the hospital. Regret comes after the act. What I have difficulty wrapping my head around are meeting some people failing to be accountable for their health choices and having a hard time connecting the dots.
You drank alcoholic beverages in amounts you shouldn't, smoke when it's clearly not doing any good, and did drugs majority in the right mind already warned you about, but you still can't insists none or part of it only was your fault.
I hear rants about the medications not working, can't exactly help if they got poor compliance. And part of the problem was already coming in for help when there's already little that could be done to undo years worth of damage to their system.
For people that have shown some remorse and self pity, I tend to let it slide, it's their loved ones that take care of them when they suffer the consequences of those decisions that I feel sorry the most.
It's expensive to get sick whether you live in the 1st or 3rd world but it's even more expensive to make dumb health decisions. This is why people that trade their health for money are just courting death. All that money is just going to the health care system that says sorry, it's only symptomatic treatment we can do now that you're already at this point.
I'm just fed up with reminding people to try and be healthy. But I'll recover and do the same routine again tomorrow.
Take care of yourself.
Thanks for your time.
