Health depends upon the balance between activity and repose in the five senses: sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch;

and every sense, in the normal condition of health, must be able to express itself and to respond.




Yet, know too that the senses need more time for repose than for activity.









But, tiredness is due to three causes: loss of energy which is the chief reason, and besides this excess of activity of mind and of body. One generally knows tiredness to be caused by excess of bodily activity, but one is apt to overlook the fact that excess of activity of mind also causes tiredness.
