“I believe toxic emotions cause cancer.”
July 27th 2007 12:02 pm
That’s what one of my coworkers just said. “I believe toxic emotions cause cancer.” She wasn’t speaking to me; she was standing near my desk though. It took all the willpower I had not to jump out of my chair and say, “You’re wrong. Cells growing out of control cause cancer. If toxic emotions caused cancer, then every negative person in the world would be ill.”
A highly intelligent, older woman made that statement. I want to shake her and scream, “Toxic emotions didn’t kill my sister. Cancer did. Cancer caused by hepatitis.” I won’t touch her, of course—that would be assault.
I don’t know what is harder to deal with: the fact that my coworker believes what she said or that Adrienne believed the same thing.
