"Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense"
- Henry Miller
About this Quote
In this quote, Henry Miller recommends that our physical bodies possess a wisdom that we, as the inhabitants of the body, lack. This knowledge is not something that can be easily comprehended or described, but rather something that is innate within us. Nevertheless, despite this knowledge, we frequently provide our bodies orders that do not align with this inherent knowledge. We may push our bodies too hard, disregard its signals, or participate in harmful habits. Miller's words act as a pointer to listen to our bodies and rely on its wisdom, rather than attempting to control it with our limited understanding.
