Great article, Darius. I have known situations like this with people. I'd like to offer a counter-argument though. I truly believe that health is a mindset and that our emotional and mental energy has a symbiotic relationship with our physical health. So, sometimes not acknowlegding that the tower is burning down, like you say, is bad. But sometimes if someone convinces you through repetivie negative talk that you're sick, it actually ends up true because you believed it. I've seen both things happen in real life. Just something to think on.
