And why does ANYTHING follow the phrase - "It goes without saying...". More pet peeve words: "Affect" when it should be "effect" - and vice versa. "Bring" when it should be "take". Vice versa doesn't usually happen here. "Proctologist" for many reasons, including the fact that they chose to be one on purpose. |

The overall condition of an organism at a given time. Wellness: The state of being in good physical and mental health Merriam-Webster Health: The condition of being sound in body, mind, or spirit Wellness: The quality or state of being in good health especially as an actively sought goal. Unnecessarily Redundant, IMHO.

i agree with Ajax, health is health.
physical, mental, emotional, etc... it's all different facets of a person. the often used word "individual" means "that cannot be divided". if one facet of an individual is not in good health, the other facets will suffer from it and will also not be in good health. why is it that people who suffer from high stress have ailments like stomach burns? an individual, or person, is a whole, even in death: the whole person ceases to exist at the moment of death; if anyone thinks or knows otherwise, i want to see proof. This means it's not even open to discussion. Edited by J. B. (09/17/11 09:19 AM)

Ask a rhetorical question, let 'em all have their shots, then thwap 'em with not one, but two dictionary definitions! You rock! (I already knew that.)

No animosity here. Just trying to make my point. Most of the time I'm fine with folks seeing things differently, particularly two good folks like Peter and J.P.

There are plenty of discussions of health versus wellness online if you look past dictionary definitions. Even if they meant exactly the same thing, though, I'm fine with having more words to have in the bag. Sometimes you want something different phonetically in your phrasing, right?

Wellness: Adj, a state of being
On the home farm we had 3 wells. I was awash in a wealth of wellness.

Wellness: The state of being in good physical and mental health I think there's a difference in those two definitions when you consider a person with a physical disability, like myself. Health: 1. The overall condition of an organism at a given time. Overall, as a quadriplegic, I'm healthy. Wellness: The state of being in good physical and mental health Physically, I'm disabled, and as a result, my body doesn't function normally (good health), but my mind does. I also think this definition is deleterious because someone with downs syndrome can, and do, have wellness. The lexicographers should take a course in SRV (Social Role Valorization). My 2 cents.

I'm glad you clarified what SRV stood for before people steered the thread toward Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Good points, though, Cam. |
