Because love and self-care are the best medicines. They feel how it helps them.
Another question is: Why do they focus on cars? Because they associate themselves with them, because they think they are nothing without them. This is how people’s external focus looks like after they have lost their internal focus.
For women, their appearance takes the place of cars. Daily rituals of makeup, dressing up, and similar activities literally heal and energize them. At the same time, the essence is the same as in men – the focus on the outside.
This is considered normal, because there is no harm for people from this. However, for a person, this is a mental disorder, and people do not understand this, and they should not.
This was written by A. P. Chekhov in the novel “Ward No. 6”.
Dr. Andrey Ragin, the hero of the story, initially enthusiastically treated patients, but later came to the realization that it made no sense to treat patients under the existing conditions. He doesn’t believe in the effectiveness of treatment and believes that “you shouldn’t stop people from going crazy.”
However, Ragin begins to communicate with one of the patients, Ivan Gromov, and finds him to be an interesting conversationalist. The doctor becomes so interested in the discussion with the patient that he starts visiting the patient’s room regularly.
This causes gossip among the hospital staff, and Ragin’s colleagues perceive the doctor who is talking to the patient as crazy.
Ragin tells his friend, “Don’t believe them! This is a deception! My only illness is that in twenty years I have found only one intelligent person in the whole city, and that person is crazy.”
There is an opinion that the doctor was mentally ill from the beginning, as evidenced by his lifestyle and lack of willpower. His interactions with Gromov only highlighted his illness.
Carriages were replaced by cars. The rest remained the same.
