underlying condition

Now and then I have a sudden
shock
of disoriented unease
over how little of what we know has
general, good use
for a "specific condition"

- is a sure bet for a specific PERSON
with that "specific condition." I think

being a person is always the underlying condition,
and has unpredictable side-effects, and is untreatable
except by music, flowers, nature, aura crystals and
essential oils, sunbasking and seabathing, huge doses
of culture (often unpleasant - doesn't work when unpleasant),
inward realization, outward fluke success or two (preferably
habitual - this fixes some people right up!) - and

none of that bullshit is reliable in a specific case.
Humor maybe,
but it's a fleeting panacea.
