I recommend reading Wilber’s Grace and Grit for a more balanced view of “aren’t things like hypertension the result of something”?

Otherwise you might find yourself on a slippery slope where you start implying that cancer sufferers brought it on themselves, etc.

Wilber’s book, about his wife who died of cancer, offers a powerful perspective that’s also grounded in mindfulness and explicitly discusses this topic and how to approach it more sensitively.
