People Hurt Themselves

Today's enlightening thought, follows on from the concept: We have to love and respect ourselves first, before we can love and accept others. Everything begins with ME, as the saying goes.
I observed how many people hurt themselves, and a pattern began to emerge.
People hold onto bitterness and refuse to forgive, and this shows up in their bodies as ulcers, tumors and worse....
People choose to think about bad things, negative comments, look on the pessimistic side, then they get themselves diagnosed with Depression....
People eat a very UNbalanced diet: pasta, potatoes, breads, their immune system weakens, and they complain they always catch every cold that comes round....
People sit at home all day, watching telly with the curtains drawn, and they wonder why they have skin problems. Go for a walk in the wind and sun, I tell them, let yourself be healed naturally.
People eat cakes, biscuits, crisps, sweets, they fur up their arteries, and then wonder why they can't skip up stairs any more. They blame their age instead....
People refuse to exercise, there is no surge of blood round their bodies, their heart never has to pump properly, they never get this rush of adrenalin that brings life and hope. They feel drained and low all the time. So they blame the weather....
People let themselves get heavier and heavier, putting increased pressure on their ankles and knees and back. Then they complain they can't exercise because they have naturally bad joints....
People don't drink enough water, then they have headaches and pains in their insides, and the doctor says they have kidney failure. Then they blame their heritage: I always was a poorly child....
People never look in the mirror, never learn from their mistakes, so they repeat them over and over again, going out with abusive partners, attracting the same job situations.
Why do people hurt themselves?
Tell you tomorrow.
