Body never lies

I love Grey’s Anatomy. And I found this voice-over on Wikiquote. Thought it’s worthwhile to share.

It goes likes this,

According to this man’s family, he was not a smoker, but the truth is he smoked two packs a day, in his car for twenty years, while his wife and children slept. Sometimes, the patient’s shame is the elephant in the room. They try to hide it from us, but you can’t hide from a surgeon because the body doesn’t lie. The truth is right here for everyone to see and it doesn’t need to say a single word.

They say shame controls every aspect of human behavior. It’s about who we believe we are. But in the end, you can’t hide, and the body doesn’t lie. The truth is right there for the world to see. Our shame can choke us. Kill us. Can rot us from the inside, if we decide to let it. Don’t let that happen to you.
