Facti bruti – the brain has its own way
"The
highest guideline of wisdom is that it is better to maintain order than to deal
with disorder.
Treatment
of the disease, once it occurs, is the same as digging a well when a person
becomes thirsty, or forging weapons after the war has already erupted.
(-Nei
Jing, 2nd century BC)
If I’d try
to describe how I – before more than twenty years, from a promising student
with a Zois scholarship, hyper energetic woman, versatile sportswoman, a person
who had her future lined up and strongly defined path to tomorrow – became a
psycho-physically lost girl, lost in time and space, you’d probably think that
I superficially read the Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe or only the part on
punishment from the Crime and Punishment.
The brain
went its “own” way and by that “set” a price for my future.

An astonishing realization
Darwin said: "From a simple start!"
He
spoke of evolution, that probably happened only once; the creationists lean on
the Genesis, but an astonishing realization and the fact that your condition
hurts you on many levels, physiologically, psychologically, that your
surroundings isolate you, exclude you, position you in the system of invalidity
and retardation, then you don’t believe anymore, you don’t trust, the
professional opinion stigmatizes you, the doubt tingles, and only your on
personal touch, searching your own voice among people and the ability to
overcome daily hindrances, enables you to persist.
Ones-own
evolution …
