A Moment of Madness

The body has a mind of its own and it is not the brain. The brain can control mostly everything that the body does but then there is the moment of rebelliousness. The body decides that it wants to do the opposite of what the brain is telling it to. What happens then? Shut down. Like a nuclear power plant. Better yet, melt down. Or as doctors prefer to call it: a break down. Words used to give meaning to an event to which there is no explanation for. One tries to dig deep within one’s mind, soul and body, but there are no answers whatsoever. What does one do then? Live the agony and the rebelliousness of the body. There are situations which man has no way of getting to or studying. The body is a self mutational being itself. Neuroscientists have tried to put into words what happens but they use just empty words for they themselves do not have a clue as to what is going on. Nonetheless, these educated men and women try to show you that they know what goes on. They are in control of the situation. Others, so they say, have been through similar situations and have survived while others have perished. Very easily said because for everything there are the two sides, in talking about diseases either you survive or die. There are no other options.

Most of the time magazines and medical reports talk about the brain controlling the body and how a person needs to keep a positive mind and high spirits to make sure that the body works well. However; when a person follows these scientific tips and all of a sudden the body decides to take on a different route, an alarm goes off inside your head so loud that makes you lose your balance, rocking all your senses: physical, emotional and spiritual, knocking you down into a hole so deep that even the longest rope cannot get you out. You scream out to others but no one is able to hear what you are saying for their mind and body are working well together in harmony and only yours is out of balance, out of tune.

Hell breaks loose and you resort to your secret world of the unconscious to try to make sense of things and there too there is a lot of pain and agony. Not only do you weep while you are awake, but now you also start to weep in your dreams. How can the only place where things are pleasant come face to face with torment and agony?

You want to run, hide and end it all. You want to turn back time. They say time is on your side and eventually it will run its course and things will get better and help you erase from your mind all this pain and suffering. Mind you, when the body starts thinking on its own, it does not. Nevertheless, deep down inside, deep down within your soul you can hear a voice that says not to give up, to hold on a bit longer, for, this too shall pass.
