why do we do things that we know are not good for us? Why do we fight and argue with loved ones about the same issues over and over? Why do we lie awake at night, stricken with worry and anxiety? Why do we have great difficulty coming to terms with a loved one's death, even if it's after a long illness? The answers to these questions involve knowing the path of making your life meaningful and not succumbing to stress, trauma, and chronic pain.
