Massage Therapy is both an Art and a Science. There is a long line connecting those two and therefore a wide variety of massage therapists exist, from hard-hitting medical and sports therapists to esoteric energy healers. Fortunately, the needs of individuals are just as varying.

I have the intelligence to know I am stupid, and the arrogance to experiment. Both are key scientific values.

Goal

To express solution-oriented arguments toward a healthier self and world.

Insights

No 'system' is corrupt;
each person within it chooses to go along instead of doing what's right.

No technology is bad, each person who uses it chooses to behave or not within it.
---
If we agreed upon and prioritized a handful of core values, everything we say and do would reflect those values, even as time and technology changed.
---
If we applied polarity physics to everyday life, we would recognize the importance of balancing the best of both light and dark aspects, instead of knee-jerking from one unbalanced extreme to another like a free radical.

Emotions are vital yet never an adult's excuse for responding immaturely. Instead, see emotional spikes, whether positive or negative, as a sign to slow down, backup, and proceed with informed caution or change direction.
