We cannot be happy if we are mentally undernourished

Dear Sir,

A happy life consists of tranquillity of the mind. The instrument of that is the brain, which is part of the physical body.

It is impossible to have this tranquillity of the mind if the brain is suffering from malnutrition.

Most brains in our society today are undernourished. Never before in history have we had so many mentally challenged children. Never before have we had so many people suffering from mental disease.

A traveller from outer space would look down on the Earth and say: “What a mess you have made of your beautiful planet.

You know the sick condition of this planet: the wars, terrorism, crime, the starving millions, the hatreds and the jealousies that turn nation against nation and man against man.

Today we live in a nervous, jittery world; a world that is getting sicker by the hour. Many young people take a look at this ugly, sick world and run straight to drugs to escape reality.

Of course, no one can live without experiencing some degree of stress, strain and tension. These are factors of modern living until we find a fantastic dream island and live there in isolation.
