Schofield Kid: [after killing a man for the first time] It don't seem real... how he ain't gonna never breathe again, ever... how he's dead. And the other one too. All on account of pulling a trigger.
Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

“psychosomatics” the branch of medicine trying to apply psychology to all diseases is a perfect example of this.
“Your bodily functions are controlled by your thoughts and therefore all you have to do to get better from physical diseases is stop thinking you are ill.” It’s a super ableist and sexist (it’s mainly applied to women) pseudoscience that unfortunately is still present in some medical corners.
I thought that was the name for mental things affecting the body?
Like wanting to pee when stressed about a presentation you're about to do.
If we had the knowledge and absolute control of our brains, we could defeat disease. But fuck me, we're in the dark ages of medicine given what we know vs. what's unknown. We might never be able to control our physiology that finely.
