My guess is that due to money being more tight, people want to make sure that they spend it on things that actually matter.

I am unsure from what this is from, but I once read a story in which a form of healing magic exists. One requirement for it to work was that the person being healed needs to be OK with it. If someone tried to cure your paralyzed legs and you don't want them to be "fixed" as you don't view as an issue or being paralyzed is just part of how you are, then the magic can't work on you.

If you are a living organism with the capacity to tell misery or pain just hope that humans don't find out you can make a product that nothing else an can. If you do end up I'm that situation, you will be turned into a biological machine that receives the minimum amount of necessities met as to not impact production.

My boyfriend can just 'turn his head off'. I don't get it. I have a constant stream of thoughts / music / whatever going on in my brain. Only once I got to experience what its like to 'not have a thought' and that's after taking medication to deal with a panic attack. The next 30 minutes after it was just quiet. It was a very bizzare experience.

I am not sure why but this makes me feel really uncomfortable.
