I saw a conference by Serge Marquis, a Canadian doctor, where he makes a point about enjoying life. Couldn't help but think about the Cs after this example.
He explains having seen a movie by Jean Beaudin, "Souvenirs intimes" ("Intimate Memories") which has profoundly impacted him.
In this movie, a young guy has a car accident. It breaks his spine really high, and he will be paralyzed for the rest of his life, but doesn't know it yet because he's in a coma.
The scene that marked him is the one where he wakes up from the coma and the doctor has to tell him the terrible news.
The doctor comes up to him and says, "From today on, you're going to place your attention to the area of your body between the base of your nose and your upper lip. From today on, you're going to discover all the sensations that this part of your body gives you.
The tingling, the tickling, the numbness..."
This scene is extraordinary for him because he is in the process of giving him back its power, because the danger that awaits this young man is to go and place his attention only on the region of his body that is dead and live only there for the rest of his days.
Catastrophe, why me? It's not fair... My life is ruined, etc.
We won't hide it, he has to mourn it, but he has to place his attention back to those areas of his body that are alive! So he can enjoy it!
The doctor goes out, but we notice that he forgot to say something, he comes back in and approaches him to say this:
Hey, don't miss the show.
The point being: Although paralyzed to the bottom, there's still a show going on, and it's up to you to have the necessary attention to enjoy it.
Yesterday I went shopping, and I had basically decided to wear the mask as little as possible. I had to put it on twice. Once when the cashier at the supermarket told me to, and once when I spotted a pair of Police uniforms outside.
The Police kinda freaked me out, I must admit. I didn't expect them. They were talking to a lady next to a block of flats, which is a pretty unusual sight. Wonder what was going on there. But I spotted them before they saw me, so I put the mask on and that was it.
Some tactical humour in it all : https://cdn.trinixy.ru/uploads/files/2020-04/1586231331_1.mp4
