“Vanuit de trein lijkt alles vredig, geen criminelen, geen boeven of schavuiten. Geen mishandelingen, geen gekwetste gevoelens en geen verdriet.

“The fight-or-flight alarm reaction exists today of the same purpose evolution originally assigned to it: to enable us to survive. What has happened is that we have lost touch with our gut feelings designed to be our warning system. The body mounts a stress response, but the mind is unaware of the threat. We keep ourselves in physiologically stressful situations, with only a dim awareness of distress or no awareness at all…the salient stressors in the lives of most human beings today – at least in the industrialized world – are emotional. Just like laboratory animals unable to escape, people find themselves trapped in lifestyles and emotional patterns inimical to their health. The higher the level of economic development, it seems, the more anesthetized we have become to our emotional realities. We no longer sense what is happening in our bodies and cannot therefore act in self-preserving ways. The physiology of stress eats away at our bodies not because it has outlived its usefulness but because we may no longer have the competence to recognize its signals.”— Gabor Mate - When the Body Says No
