Cowardice or Choice: From Vice to Voice - Wellness, Disease Prevention, And Stress Reduction Information
Twice in the recent past, I have had my courage questioned. Had my desire to get better gone astray?

The article, from A Blog about reducing Stress in our lives, is somewhat atypical. The author: "Two events led to this mixed-conceptual piece - part poem, part poetic questionnaire."

The word, "cowardice" gets my attention. There is much to think about.
Thanks for this!

It's a loaded deck. I feel the decisions are based on perception and if you have a "wrong" perception it can be almost impossible to make very good, future-oriented growth decisions.

Seems to simplify it way too much, there are lots of other things that factor into life aside from decisions.
