I need a more elegant formulation of that rule. "Scholarship can destroy your health, but it doesn't have to." That's not quite it. "Proper application of rules 2-100 will improve mental and physical health." Nope. I'm still not getting it. Maybe I won't understand this rule myself until I can formulate it succinctly and convincingly? What I think I might mean is that the ways people destroy themselves through scholarship are somehow unnecessary, that there is a path that leads to fulfillment as a scholar and excellent mental and physical health.
Scholarship can be demanding, but suffering is optional.
ReplyDeleteThat's almost it, but I want to suggest that ultimately good health actually helps scholarship.
