The picture painted by frida Kahlo with all the nails in her body waa very good description of pain. I almost felt it for her just looking at the picture.

"Sight is by far the most important of our senses". I agree with that because I have all five senses and it does seem that sight is the most important. I do not think a blind person or all blind people agree with this because they say that when you loose one sense you gain more with another sense. I also think it depends on whethter someone was born blind or born with sight and then became blind during their life.

Deafness, hearing is a sense that is something sometimes I wish I did not have, I guess I should not say that being lucky with all five senses but sometimes there are things I do not want to hear. Mostly when I am working being a bartender it is almost our job to listen and even though we do not want to hear we listen anyway.

When the chapter talked about aids and Jarmens work "blue" about the blue screen and the audience just hears music reminded me of the movie "Philidelphia". When Tom Hanks was in his studio and denzel was outside his door listening while tom just listened for about 156 minutes to this very sad Opera music as loud as he could.

Depression seems to be all over the place, every ad on TV, Depression hurts, depression effects you an everyone around you. Depression is caused by so many different things, I think it is very sad if someone does not have an outlet for depression, I do not mean medication, I mean someone to talk to or something to occupy the mind. I have a family member who has chronic fatigue, the doctor put them on so much medication, even lithium, it made them out of their mind, I mean mood swings like you would not believe. Chronic fatigue is not only depression but pain along with it. They even tried getting of the medication and seemed to be alot better.

Alcoholism I see it at work all of the time, very sad, very lonely, I feel sorry for them so like I said before wish sometimes I was deaf but some people need to be heard..."outlet"
