...Cavafy reminds us that we have to make our own destiny rather than react to those we fear.

...details of how the mentally ill have been discarded and pushed aside-owing to the increasing pace and pressure that are characteristic of most countries in Asia-but also raised the question of who, exactly, is mentally ill here. Is it those who cannot control how they behave and react to situations, or is it those so-called normal people who have turned a cold shoulder toward their brethren despite possessing the knowledge and skill required to treat them? In fact, the latter better qualify as ill, because they are insensitive to the trauma suffered by the others. Although...
