We all laugh at the fun the stand-up comics poke at public figures, we find the pomposity of officious officials to be hilarious, but what is the cost? I'm reading all over the net how cynicism gives rise to depression, how if everything looks bleak to someone-the cynic-then bleakness is his/her outlook generally. You can clearly see how this can effect the emotions of someone.
Always seeing the negative side of things can cause people to feel down, unhappy and restless. The world's problem are so huge that concentrating on them will give a person a sense of defeat.
I had a pastor once who said he sees the problems in this world as an ocean and he intended to take out his bucketful as he lived this life. Because that's all we can do, take out our own bucketful to effect what change he could in the short time he had to do it.
Being a Pollyanna is the opposite side of the coin:

Balance lies somewhere in between these two extremes. To deny that anything is ever amiss will never give rise to change, but to see only problems is to see the glass completely empty.
If there is a problem, such as a major dis-ease like Diabetes, one needs to realize there is a problem to start the healing process, and "the sooner the quicker" as my grandmother used to say.
I believe that relying on the body's natural recuperative powers rather than immediately seeking a magic bullet cure will actually aid in healing, also. I rarely ever use any Nsaids because they are really not good for our bodies [they are after not naturally occurring as they are compounded in pill form], and de-sensitizing the natural pain sensors in our brains will not allow it to release endorphins to deal with the pain as nature intended. Pain relievers also make the body MORE sensitive to pain, causing a vicious circle of pill-popping and more pain.
By believing the body, which has amazing recuperative powers by the way, can heal, is one sure way to help it on the way to recovery.
Getting to the absolute healthiest state a body can be in starts by being in a natural healthy state. Our bodies were designed to be in an alkaline ph, a dis-ease is the body's reaction to being acid eating all alkalizing foods will do that, but if you are tired of eating , broccoli, and more broccoli, there Is another way: To eat a 70% alkalizing diet and taking cell power
