Here is a good one for you to ponder about...
Ever since I could remember myself, I always had pain in my right ear. Almost always, I thought. I remember my mom putting a warm oil in to soothe it.
Years ago, after being in an accident, I even had a doctor examine my ear. He only found one little hair inside, which he pulled out without asking me.
If I put a finger inside and lightly pressed, it hurt. So I thought, I would die with that
A month ago or so, my ear started hurting on its own, I could not ignore it. I rubbed a little Thieves essential oils blend inside and outside my ear then, and on my lymph nodes, if I remember correctly.
The ear does not hurt anymore. Btw, while recently being on vacation for 2 weeks in Palm Springs, California, I noticed my ears staying absolutely clean. I can see why - hiking in the mountains every day, eating grapefruit off the tree, no stress - paradise!
My point is - we are in a constant flux. Thinking otherwise may create an obstacle.
