Wise words from a wise man. I think the other problem with excuses is that they are often a lie told to oneself, which can have harmful effects should they come to believe their own lies.

QUOTE: Hippocrates
With the onset of the opioid epidemic, one that is not new but rather resurfacing, it seems as though our society has forgotten this concept. We should seek to heal the spirit first through comforting and uplifting people, but we simply write a prescription for a useless pill and send them on their way.

He changed the entire scope and course of his life due to his disease, but it never held him back because he changed his tactics rather than his goals. To adapt to change is to be able...
