SPAS, WELLNESS CENTERS, RECESS AND BREAK PERIODS

I never recalled a time on each of our adolescent years where we had to go to wellness centers, spas, or massage/masahe parlors.  When we were kids, we only get to sleep on our own chairs or ask permission from the teacher to be excused.  And we may eventually be sent to the canteen or the clinic for some kind of special treatment, food, beverage, or maybe some kind of medical care to make us feel better and back at our usual selves again.  This is how it is basically.  We see our school dentists, school doctors, and school nurses.  We also get to see the people in the school canteen.  They look much less threatening.  Everybody knows how delightful that feels.  It's easily a little more comforting if one has his or her own lunch or snackbox.  

And as time passes by to the teenage years, adolescence to adulthood, growing pains sets in.  And we can no longer deny the fact that we do need these services.  But it is not really right to  be dependent on it.  I am really quite surprised how health services progressed back here.  It is not healthy to see too much health-conscious people around.  It makes one feel that we're all sick in some way even though we are not.  Illnesses such as the common cold, flu and cough does happen to us, to each one of us once in a while, but I do sometimes feel the pretensions.  Like some adult who pretends to cough, or wheeze and sneeze.  Inciting some kind of disease or some kind of another virus name , and create scare tactics through media, which to some extent would then produce a new supplement, vitamin, a drug, a placebo, a medicine...in tablets, in capsules, in syrups, in fluid or in whatever form.  It's just plain sad now.  And so other than this practice, we also had people who always has this idea that he'll or she'll feel a lot more better if he or she is physically fit.  Making that terminology "Physically Fit" to embody some kind character in a superhero movie.  And that has somehow made all the fuss.  It has really made all the fuss in terms of the Physical parts of our selves.  to each in his or her own preference of beauty along with health and wellness for which we try to adore and cherish and personify.
