About This Quote
The body tries to stop the mind from killing itself, no matter the cost. The idea in this quote is that the body is trying to stop us from committing suicide, but the body only has so much energy. If we are tired enough, we cannot keep fighting against our own bodies. Once we sit down and give up, our bodies finally give in.
