"I don't think politicians should be allowed into power who are not familiar with their bodies, because that's where our bottom line is. And I know that they would make totally different decisions if they felt responsible simply for their own bodies"

About this Quote

Twyla Tharp, an American professional dancer as well as choreographer, believes that politicians who are not aware of their own bodies ought to not be permitted to hold placements of power. She says that our personal physical wellness as well as well-being, along with our ability to make enlightened decisions about our bodies, should be a top priority when making political choices. Tharp thinks that if political leaders were much more linked to their very own bodies, they would alter decisions. She suggests that by taking obligation for one's very own body, a person is better able to understand the demands as well as worries of others, and also make even more caring and educated choices that focus on every person's health and wellness, not just their very own.
