Last night on House there was a dude with 'locked-in syndrome'. Basically, he was alive but his brain couldn't signal to his body to do move. It's different to being paralysed or in a coma. All he could do was think and talk inside his own head, but to the outside world and everyone in it, he may as well have been in Madame Tussauds wax museum.
This got me thinking, don't we all have 'locked-in syndrome' sometimes? That's why therapy is so super popular in our screwed-up western bubble. Everybody has secrets, everybody lies and nobody's normal. If people don't talk to a therapist with signed confidentiality agreements, all the lies and secrets are locked in and can mess with your mind. You would start to feel like you're screaming and nobody can hear you, like everybody around you are idiots because they don't understand you and eventually you would give up. Exactly like the TV show.
Fascinating.
And a P.S. I don't have 'locked-in syndrome'. Yeah I'm not normal, I have secrets and sure I lie, but I have the J-man to talk to. And even when I try to keep it in, He knows everything anyways. There is no escape and when the whole wide world stops being too smart for their own good, and accepts God for his wonderfulness, therapists are going to be out of a job big style.
