The Whisper

Image
I find it interesting to wonder what drives people, what motivates them. And even more who motivates and supports them? Which are the promises to buy the soul of a person? What would be the price of it and does the seller even realise the loss? We are all looking for something and without success, we change our true calling to something more banal. Material or bodily pleasures, the short feeling of power over people’s destinies or the endless chase after the material independence and wealth. But still, our searching never seems to end. More is more. On top of the hill, your eyes find another one, even higher and until there is danger of someone else climbing it, if someone else discovers the most beautiful pearl or rises up to the skies on a magical latter – that long we will keep on our quest to the supplement-goal.

And I read a lot and I studied – whatever caught my interest, I always tried to find out more about it. So, I was a lone wolf, but I knew how to be part of the pack whenever I felt like it. I liked the idea of being alone by choice and I found it hard to understand people who feared being alone. Then I realised that there is potential . Not really sure if I really ever realised it, or it was just the people around me telling me this quite often. This is the age between 13 and 30. If you are good in something and someone...

Technicalities

Just to bring everyone up to pace, I have decided to share some technical information about my situation. Some of the “cans” and “can´ts”. Also... if there is a private medical institution out there looking for a trial material for some new fantastic solution to cure spinal cord injury, let me know.    (But before I do that, I would really like to thank You for all the positive feedback and encouraging words -this really made not only my day, but my entire week. So…I will keep on blogging. Also, I am super grateful for the donations I already have received to my fund – every little helps!) So...  I found out at the hospital, that what I have, is called spinal cord injury or SCI . Also a very correct way to describe this is paraplegic . Wikipedia tells us the following: " Paraplegia  is an impairment in motor or sensory function of the lower extremities. The word comes from  Ionic Greek : παραπληγίη "half-striking". It is usually caused by  s...
