Bite-Size Chinese Medicine

Quick notes mostly about fitting old-world wisdom into a modern American life.

Sadness is on me

Language affects how we understand the world and function in it.

In the indigenous language of Ireland (Irish-Gaelic), one does not say "I am sad" but rather "Sadness is on me" (“Tá brón orm”).

Instead of "I am afraid", one says "Fear is on me" ("Tá eagla orm").

Emotions are a temporary passenger.
