Quotes About Well-being

mental health is based on a certain degree of tension, the tension between what one has already achieved and what one still ought to accomplish, or the gap between what one is and what one should become. Such a tension is inherent in the human being and therefore is indispensable to mental well-being. We should not, then, be hesitant about challenging man with a potential meaning for him to fulfill. It is only thus that we evoke his will to meaning from its state of latency.
~ Viktor E. Frankl

Trees that are only trees by daylight are many and various other things at night. They are lurking, impossible monsters of the animal world or crouching human ruffians, of ferocious aspect and intent, depending upon their shape, size, color, distance from the beholder, and general state of well-being or decay.

~ Vladimir Nabokov
I see again my schoolroom in Vyra, the blue roses of the wallpaper, the open window. Its reflection fills the oval mirror above the leathern couch where my uncle sits, gloating over a tattered book. A sense of security, of well-being, of summer warmth pervades my memory. That robust reality makes a ghost of the present. The mirror brims with brightness; a bumblebee has entered the room and bumps against the ceiling. Everything is as it should be, nothing will ever change, nobody will ever die.

women are the greatest consumers of health-related products and services. Women are often first to take responsibility, not only for the health and well-being of themselves and their offspring, but also for the health of men. This helps explain why single men have the greatest health risks—and why the benefits of marriage are consistently found to be greater for men than for women (who can suffer substantial stress in caring for their spouses) (Courtenay, 2000a).

In the end ... she is a great mother and her baby is adorable. I did not realize there was any controversy. LOL!
