Wound Healing Process

The wound healing process of our minds is far more difficult than the healing process of a physical wound.

Most of us fear the thought of a physical wound much more than a wound of our mind or emotions. I believe most of us do not compare mental pain as a wound in any way period.

The facts tell me a wound of the mind draws us to drugs more than a physical wound may. I understand that we have been lead to believe that drugs are the cure all to our physical pain.

We see the advertisements everywhere we go. This medicine relieves pain for this and that fast and for a long duration. They have a pain drug for everything under the sun. It does not surprise me we have a drug problem throughout our world. They tell us it is fine to take these medicines it's just another part of our daily lives.

I am not saying these drugs should not be out there for us to purchase. I do believe we give our children a reason to use drugs at the drop of a hat.

We have created a mental wound and the only way we seem to deal with this is through drug treatment. We do not have any sort of wound healing process for this pain relief at the tip of our fingers, accept more medicine.

I understand these particular drugs we recommend to each and every soul are not mind altering drugs. They do not cause us to change personally. We do not have to hide the use of these drugs. Crimes are not being committed to get these drugs to feed our addictions.

There are billions of dollars to be made in this business and advertising is the way to sell them. So this will not go away, nor do I believe it should go away.

There is a seed being planted here. It is pounded at us daily sometimes many times a day that it's a good idea to use these drugs. Why suffer any aches and pains.

Medicine is the answer to all our problems. There is nothing that medicine cannot take care of. That is how it all sounds to me.

I wonder how a small child interprets this message. They grow up seeing it, hearing it, and doing it.

We tell them not to do these particular drugs, ie. pot, alcohol, cocaine, heroin, cigarettes, and many other drugs that are causing havoc in our world. I wonder how that sinks in the minds of some of our children. It's good to take this but never take that.

Reminds me of the story in the bible of Adam and Eve. You can eat the fruit of any tree in the Garden except this particular apple tree. Does that sound familiar?

Your kids are over at their friends and your child tells their friends mommy they have a stomach ache or some kind of ache so she gives them kids medicine to help and she says you will be all better now! They grow up in this type of world that medicine is the cure all in their small developing minds.

How can we develop a wound healing process for something that starts early in a child's life. Maybe it's best to work on avoiding the mental wound for starters.

A wound healing process is not necessary if there is no wound. Healing a mental wound is extremely difficult to accomplish without the one wounded fully accepting the process to heal that wound. It can be extremely difficult to get a person to realize they have a severe problem in the first place. Especially when it refers to their mental health.

Here is where common sense becomes a valuable tool for the parents, guardians, teachers, and child care takers. We often use the same problem solving tools that we were taught. If one were raised to take medicine for aches and pains by their parents they will most likely do the same. It is a vicious circle the learning process.

We need to get off the beaten path. Medicine is great but not to abuse it as I believe many do. You must be wise about your decisions never take it for granted that a child just has a simple stomach ache it could be more serious. Never take nothing for granted, every ache and pain does have a cause, especially for a child who may not understand the depth of their ailment.
