To Be Able to hear Everything.

You've heard of Terrets Syndrome, that condition where you can't stop making un voluntary movements of your body. I recently watched a video about this guy that has it. It was about how he found comfort in playing the piano. this isn't about that but about a part of the movie that really got me thinking.

What would it be like to notice everything around you? To hear and to see, to notice every little thing. As he described it its crazy. Imagine what that must be like! We as humans aren't exactly built for something like that so of course it would drive us almost mad like it does to him but imagine what it would be like if we could! 

This made tastes a little bit of what it is like to be like God every day, he hears every little noise around him and everything is just so clear! Clear but maddening because our brains weren't built to take in that much. 

I would love to have that ability for a day, only for a day. I know that if my wish came true it would probably become really hard for me but after it went away imagine having that memory, what its like to be aware of everything around you to see and to hear everything. something that is curse to someone could be a blessing to someone else.

We're all so blind to everything around us all the time, we don't notice things that go around us from day to day.  I would gladly take a  curse like that from someone and make it into my treasure.

so many experiences that disabled people like me and this guy have seem like they would be curses, but they don't have to be that way. 

Like I grew up with really bad vision. Because of this i'm not obsessed with the look of things I see things as they actually are, I understand the importance of things that other people don't noticed very often. You're probably thinking that I would regret wishing for an ability such as the one that this man has but even I f I did I would still at the same time be grateful. My mind would be that much more aware of everything like I love to be. I love seeing everything as it is, and not being distracted by the physical appearance. 

I hope this made some sense.
