illness, n.All

Illness is an already existent dual-citizenship where we constantly resist going to the 'kingdom of the sick' with its attendant pain and shame.

Illness is, in contrast to disease, defined culturally as how individuals and groups perceive, live with, and respond to symptoms and disabilities.

Illness is, along with misery and imperfection, a backdoor giving one backdoor escapes from enduring habits.

Illness is a clumsy attempt to arrive at health. Instead we ought to come to nature's aid with intellect.

Illness is able to sensitize man for observation, like a photographic plate.

An Illness is like a journey into a far country in that it sifts all one's experience and removes it to a point so remote that it appears like a vision.

Illness is often associated wily-nily with the idea that one had somehow brought it on themselves.

Plants, like humans, can run a fever when sick

Orgasms can help a man's body recover from illness.

Illness is not just about suffering the loss of physical and/or mental integrity. To be ill is to inhabit a state of unbelonging, to be pushed to the margins, shamed, silenced.
