It is the opposite of [[wellbeing]]. Disease can also be understood as misalignment. This is a misalignment of the vector of energy input with the vector of effect on wellbeing. It is at best an inefficiency of energy, though this misalignment can also cause the energy to be directed in ways that cause [[pain]] and [[suffering]] and otherwise upset the wellbeing of the system. # expansion Dis-ease comes from the same roots as dis-order and ultimately reflects the understanding that ease of [[being]] is the way to be [[wellbeing|well]]. Causal patterns flow through the world. Disease occurs when the flow is not easeful and aligned with the wellbeing of the earth system.
