Let me tell you of my tale of Facebook jail.

A few weeks back, when reading Nudge, I came across the concept they introduced about invisible energy.  

A friend and mentor recently died, after what his daughter described as a long illness. I had no idea he was sick.  Reading the post from his daughter got me thinking - why do we retreat behind closed curtains and doors, withdraw from society, and go dark when we become ill?
