Civilization is so hard on the body that some have called it a disease, despite the arts that keep puny bodies alive to a greater average age, and our greater protection from contagious and germ diseases.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We are a puny and fickle folk. Avarice, hesitation, and following are our diseases.
Civilization is what makes you sick.
Disease makes men more physical, it leaves them nothing but body.
Disease is a vital expression of the human organism.
Infectious disease exists at this intersection between real science, medicine, public health, social policy, and human conflict. There's a tendency of people to try and make a group out of those who have the disease. It makes people who don't have the disease feel safer.
As we dread any disease that undermines the health of the body, so should we deplore contention, which is a corroding canker of the spirit.
You are not just about death and disease.
People are worried about their bodies. They're worried about disease. They're worried about how they are able to get out and participate in the world.
Poetry and consumption are the most flattering of diseases.
Society is not a disease, it is a disaster. What a stupid miracle that one can live in it.
