Just had a lovely sunny lunch with some good friends and heard a fascinating fact from a lady who has a background in nursing.
In recent research, it's been shown that looking at an unwell person, strengthen's your own immune system.
Several things struck me about this (and I'm looking forward to reading the full article)
Firstly that it happens at all.....demonstrating yet again how alive and measurable are the interconnections between us all.
Secondly, one might expect to have one's own strength weakened by looking at another who is unwell and in a weakened state ..yet quite the opposite happens.
Thirdly, it strikes me how what a very kind state of affairs this is ....you put yourself out for someone who is unwell...and in some kind of magic kindness, your own immunity strengthens ..giving you both a better constitution and in turn of course more capability to help another who is in need.
My friend said her own experience as a nurse confirmed this many times over.
Makes me ponder whether some intelligence wants people to be helped?
