There are people who are unhappy without even knowing why. Well, they should visit old people's homes, hospitals and prisons to see what physical and moral miseries really are so that, by comparison, they may be aware of all they possess! Really!... They should be ashamed to let their inner malaise drag on in this way, for it exists for only one reason: they make no effort to bring order into their psychic life. They are lazy, so lazy! All they know how to do is rush to the pharmacist at the slightest discomfort or indisposition.
I am not saying you should not go to the drugstore or take remedies. But why exclusively resort to physical remedies, while the cause does not lie on the physical plane but in much subtler regions? You have a headache, for example, and you take an aspirin; but these headaches can have a moral reason: irritation or anxiety... So even if you feel better, it will not last if you content yourself with swallowing some remedy. Do not forget that, in this case, you can also resort to psychic remedies and work with your mind. It might take longer, but one day, the effects will be permanent.
