The reason why sometimes we are sick and we feel we are weak and defenseless is that in this life sometimes we feel we are very lonely and we feel no one understands us. No one really supports us, I mean supports our ideas, forgives us when we are wrong, and really loves us the way we are. So we just feel lonely and we just want to shut ourselves in somewhere, then pretend that we are unable to communicate or to do this or that...ah. Don't want to do anything anymore. That's how we get into a kind of let go of everything, let go of our body, our spirit, our joy; let go of the enthusiasm and the positive hope for life and for the future.

It can get that bad in this life if we don't really have good friends or we don't try to find good friends. It can make us very lonely and weak. When the mind is weak, the body looks or feels weak; we don't even want to move. We cannot move because we don't want to move, because our will is not strong. Because we feel bad, we feel rejected, we feel refused, we feel shut out, we feel alone, we feel left out, something like that, then we become weak. It's not the body, it's the mind.
