Non self-evident

I would like to ask why we have to get sick to understand how health is not a natural condition. Only then we realize how lucky we have been until then, or how important it is. I wonder why we can not appreciate what we have all the time, and not only when we do not have it anymore. Sometimes, we even challenge our bodies, or we look at danger with disregard.

Doctors

I would like to ask why people are afraid of doctors. In the end, they just try to make us feel better or to solve a problem. Maybe, the idea of a doctor is associated with pain for some invasive analysis, or illness, or feeling bad, together with long waiting times in non optimal conditions. I think that most of the time we are afraid of the fact that they tell us to do something, or to take some medicaments, and we mostly have no idea of how these magic pills should let us feel better or the exercise should help our physical conditions. It basically then implies a blind trust in their knowledge, understanding and capability to offer the right solution to our problem. I can imagine that nobody likes to give such blind trust to, more or less, strangers.
