If staying calm prevents dementia will it prevent infection too?

[Dotty]

When I was a girl my mother always used to say to me, "Dorothy... Only the trollops of this world act like over-excited hysterics." Now it seems that my mother knew that staying calm was good for you in more ways than one. Luke found an article for me about how staying calm can help prevent dementia. Bless him. I said to him, "Luke, dear boy, I'm the last person you need to worry about with dementia!" He agreed but made me read it anyway. It was quite interesting but then we ended up talking about whether a state of mind could really help combat a physical condition which of course led to discussions about whether a state of mind could combat zombie infection. Could it? I don't know. I mean, it's like a dog biting you and you not contracting rabies because you have peace of mind. Luke thinks that those Tibetan monk types could probably resist it with the power of their minds alone. I think that Tibetan monks would be able to escape those poor creatures and since the Dalai Lama goes around preaching peace and compassion, perhaps they wouldn't even kung fu them. Or maybe only kung fu them so it hurt a bit rather than kill them like you see in those violent moves. I wonder if you can really hit someone so hard so that they bleed through their mouth. Luke offered to let me try on him but I suspect I only managed to make him laugh. I will have to work on this.

Oh, Dotty, let's not submit this comment to the Journal of Freudian Analysis...
