They are Building More Houses in Las Vegas

It's got nothing to do with cancer or healing, but this story in the New York Times about how they are still building new houses in Las Vegas is the most amazing news story I have read this year. It is a sign of the times--wanting more boom when we need restraint, wanting to create a never never real estate land of magical and continual expansion instead of accepting the realities of the market.

And yet maybe it does have something to do with healing--how we deny our well-being as Americans until things reach a critical point, and then, continue to eat a health weakening diet that only digs our grave more quickly.

Are human beings (and I suppose ostriches) the only mammals on earth with this unique ability to live in denial?

  1. I want to open a diet center that has a confession booth inside. When I sneak to 7-11 for Ben & Jerries late at night I don't deny anything because its only 2x per week. I do deny alway 2 large coffees every day even though I know it stains my liver and spleen the same color as the bottom of a coffee cup, decreases blood flow to the outermost part of my skin, I am a pitta & pittas don't do well with coffee, it increases adrenaline/cortisol, takes the place of my natural adenosine & disrupts my sleep-awake cycle, it's acidic, dehydrates you, gives you bad breath, increases gastric emptying leading to hunger,and worst of all caffeine uses up all my cyclic AMP causing burn out syndrome. But still I am always quitting "tomorrow".

  2. Dear Robert, This is just a note to wish you well. I believe that there will be a time when you will help others even more than you already have as a result of what you are dealing with at the moment, i.e., minister out of your glorified wounds if I may get holy roller for a moment. It's the best possible response to situations like this, at least as I see it. I'm recently back from mainland China and Hong Kong where I did some medical missionary work. A friend and I established an NGO there. Please accept my prayers and good wishes. much peace, you brother Bernard Seif
