Have you ever been motion sick? How about car sick, air sick or sea sick? Terrible feeling. Nausea, dizziness, head aches, stomach ache and sometimes vomiting. Bad feeling not to mention ruins whatever you are trying to do at the time.
The physiology of motion sickness is the disconnection between what your eyes see and what your vestibular (motion or position detecting) system tell your brain confuses your body and all of the above symptoms result. When you read in a moving car your eyes say you are not moving (looking at stationary book) but your ears tell your brain that the car is moving: motion sickness results.
Ever heard of EMOTION sickness. Probably not because I just made it up. How about depression, anxiety, anger, panic disorders, mania and others. Many times these conditions are caused by the disconnect between what we are doing and what we know we SHOULD be doing. This may be on a concious level but frequently it is subconcious. Lashing out inappropriately or over-reacting has its roots in this disconnect.
We are all sinners who cannot behave in accordance with God's desires. Recognizing this fact, acknowledging that we are imperfect can relieve this disconnect. Hopefully stopping the EMOTION sickness.
