A bar graph registering low in four areas:
Feeling sad more than happy,
Acting inconsistent more than predictable,
Thinking confused more than understand
and Kept from Caring more than determined to Care.

Annotate

^Evaluate our ~self~ ^Promptly and often.
1. ^Think about ^How we ^Feel. Are we ~sad~, ~afraid~ or ~mad~? Are we (un-)~happy~?.
2. ^Think about ^How we ^Act. Are we ~inconsistent~ to ~goal~ or ~naughty~ to ~foundation~? Are we not ~predictable~ to our ~self~?
3. ^Look at ^How we ^Think. Do we not ^Understand ~one-another~? Do we have ~confusion~?
4. ^Look at our ~mind~ and within our ~organism~. Can we not ^Care, ^Trust or ^Choose? Can we not ^Heal with ~agency~? Can we not ^Commit to a ^More ^Healthy ~result~?
5. ^Remember the ~feeling~ and ~result~ from each ~category~ and ^Compare to ^Similar ~memories~.
^Consider against our ~indicator~ of it so that we may ^Inspire or ^Magnify ~weakness~ ^When not ~found~ naturally:
1. ^Say ^Sorry to others (or ^Cry) at any ~signal~ of ~change~ in ourselves, others or our world.
2. ^Trust to ^Follow others' ~example~ of ~weakness~ yet do our ~BEST~ ^First and foremost to ^Govern all ~strength~ that may ^Tend to ^Hurt.
  
  ^Take ~care~ to ^Advocate to ^Maintain ~safety~. ^Irrespective of age, ^Beware that we might ^Appear ~naughty~ at this ~step~. Do not ^Increase our ^Own ~emotion~ to ^Express a ~need~. Instead ^Minimize or ^Remove that ~power~ and ^Yield from our ~ability~ to ^Exercise it. ^Be ~prudent~ to ^Reward ourselves with ^Equal ~measure~ of ~trust~ ~as~ that of another ^Naughty ^Desperate ~soul~.
3. ^Beg for its ^Own sake to ^Magnify our ^Own ~sorrow~. This ~works~ ~BEST~ ^When it is too late to ^Undo it.
  
  ^Beg for its ^Own sake means to ^Beg without any ~aim~ or ~end~. It is unlikely to ^Make us ~SICK~ ^When we ^Beg while we ^Hold an ^External ~purpose~, a ~goal~ or a strategy.
4. ^Question or ^Oppose every ~idea~ without ~respect~ to its ~base~, even ~as~ we ^Consider the most ^Simple ~work~, logic or ~sense~.
5. ^Divide each ^STRONG ~signal~ in our ~mind~ by its ~opposite~ in ~doubt~.
6. ^When we ^Need to ^Overcome a ^Present ^STRONG ~obstacle~, we can ^Fight or ^Fall therefrom until we ^Lose ~hope~.
7. ^Feel ^STRONG ~need~ to ^Stay in ~charge~ yet ^Decide to ^Depart for sake of ~peace~.
  
  On this ^Fragile ~journey~, ~as~ we ^Depart in ~weakness~, ^Focus on the ^Now without ~outlook~ and ^Move ^Slowly without ~knowledge~ except to ^Consider the next ~step~. Have vigilence to ^Refuse and ^Minimize every ~PATH~ that may ^Tempt us or ^Focus us toward any ~purpose~ or ~desire~. We may ^Hope to ^Take a ~buddy~ ^Who won't ^Intend to ^Judge or ^Fight us in our ~flight~, ^Who may ^Guide or ^Attend to the ^Big ~picture~ for our sake, ^Who we may ^Trust ^Well ^Enough to ^Guide on our behalf and ^Who will ^Trust the ~inspiration~ for this ^Process to ^Work, too.
  
  ^Try to ^Imagine (or ^Take from our ~memories~) a ~buddy~ whose ~reputation~ we may ^Trust.

Subject

^SICK is a mode of ^Function to ^Measure our ~mind~ to ^Detect the ~need~ to ^Make ~adjustments~ ^Quickly so that we may ^Avoid ^Needless suffering. ^SICK is an acronym for ^Sad, ^Inconsistent, ^Confused and Kept from ~care~.

This is ^Good to ^Learn for those ^Who ^Hate to ^Remain to ^Endure (dis-)~comfort~ and ^Find themselves often in that ~trap~. That is me, and it might ^Be you too. All of us ^Really. It is ~important~ that we can ^Recognize and ^Evaluate each ~kind~ of ~roadblock~ in our ~life~.

To the extent we ^Try to ^Continue while we have symptoms of ~weakness~, we will ^Start to inflict a ~MESS~ of injury or ~immunity~ on ourselves and others. At ^First our ~mind~ will ^Slowly or ^Immediately ^Magnify any ^Fragile ~signal~ until we ^Notice and ^Change course and speed. Or eventually our ~mind~ and that of others may ^Start to ^Protect itself by its ~immunity~ to ^Create, ^Sustain or ^Magnify all kinds of distortions. Those distortions may ^Continue until we have ^Sufficient ~strength~ to ^Heal ^Again.

Target

Anytime or ^Hourly.

^Notice ^Quickly anytime so we can ^Trust to ^Make minor ~adjustments~ ^Promptly. And to the extent ~adjustments~ are not in our ~control~ ^Now, that is ^Okay too. ^Let ~weakness~ ^Come and ^Let it ^Create modes and distortions in ourselves and others until we have ^Sufficient ~presence~ of ~strength~ to ^Choose the ^Return ~process~.

We should not ^Deceive ourselves about the ~point~ of it. A ~weakness~ doesn't necessarily mean that our ~body~ is ill, although ^Definitely it can ^Feel that ~way~. Rather, it means that we are ~ready~ to have a ~change~ or to ^Fail with ^Humility. ^Consider that ~weakness~ is the same ~as~ ~strength~ except that the former contains its ^Own ~chance~ to ^Grow, while in the latter we must ^Seek to ^Improve from it to ^Fail.

^SICK is not only a ~measure~ of the ~mind~ but a ~function~ of it also that ~works~ ~BEST~ ^When we can shrink it down ~as~ tiny ~as~ a teardrop; a ^Momentary ~blur~. Although we don't typically ^Benefit ^When we ^Seek out ~weakness~ or its ~parts~, to ^Choose to ^Yield ourselves in ~need~ is a powerful tonic and ~indicator~ upon ourselves, others and our world. And we often accidentally mute or distort this ~benefit~ through a ^Needless mode or ~mechanism~. Anytime we have ^Needless suffering, or we are under weight of any trial or of ~emotional-failure~, ^Find a ~space~ of ~need~ and ^Take a ~chance~ to ^Gain a ^Better ~life~ therefrom.

Anytime we ^Hope to ^Operate or ^Recover, ^Remember to ^Exercise our ~weakness~.

We may have had the unfortunate ~experience~ to ^Learn wrongly that ~weakness~ in ourselves, others, or our world is the ~problem~ itself. Rather, it may ^Help us to ^Operate for sake of a ~solution~, even for ^Help on the ^Largest ~problem~. But I ^Confess that it is ~evidence~ of a ~problem~. We quite naturally ^Express it from a very young age. With ~practice~ of ~patience~ we ^Master the ~kerfuffle~ of it in ~care~ for those of a very young age. In that ~light~, can we ^Really ^Believe this ^Concept is so ~complex~ or ~cruel~ that it should only ^Work on behalf of those ^Who are ~small~ or ~simple~?

^As we ^Grow into an adult it can ^Feel ~cruel~ or ~opposite~ to our nature to lean into our ~weakness~ ~as~ an ~operator~ but ^Please ^Trust to ^See it ~work~. Although we may ^Choose to ^Hide or ^Ignore ~weakness~ in ~favor~ of the ~noise~ of ^More ~mistakes~, it is a ~signal~ we all can ^Understand and ^One ^Where ^Quiet ~compassion~ is ~sufficient~ to ^Satisfy.
