THE FEAR OF ILL HEALTH
This anxiety derives, to a large measure, from the same causes as the worries of poverty and old age.
Fear of Ill Health must necessarily be related to both Poverty and Old Age because it also leads to the boundary line of “awful worlds,” about which man knows nothing but has heard some unsettling stories.
The person believes that individuals in the business of marketing good health treatments have played a significant role in keeping the fear of illness alive in the human mind.
For as long as the human race’s record can be relied on, the globe has known numerous and diverse sorts of therapy and health vendors. If a man makes a livelihood by keeping people healthy, it seems only reasonable that he would use whatever means at his disposal to persuade others that they needed his services. As a result, people may eventually develop a phobia of illness.
