At the time of this writing DaddyG has entered his new flat since
24+24+16 hours = 64 hours ago. It was a great day when he moved. In the
morning 14 frieds moved from several sites towards his old flat and met
there at 10:00h in the morning. At 11:30h we had everything packed into
the cars and brought him to his new home SchoeKi about 100 km away. At
15:00h everything was in place. About 19:00h his sleeping room was
prepared, the bath was functioning, his kitchen working and his living
room was arranged. KH and Mike had mad his old TV running and
surely never have been his pictures more brilliant than now. That's
what friends can do: arrange things you never could do alone.
Now, Live can go on, even can start. But human live depends on the
functioning of your body, depends on your memory, your brain.
DaddyG has to learn about his new environments. In his head exists
still the ordering of things of his old flat. Now things are arranged a
bit differently. The content of the furniture has changed. We could not
move everything; we had to abandon things. Now he has to built up a new
picture in his head about his new environment. He has to learn, which
keys open which doors, where is the phone, how to dial, where are his
shoes, where is the bread for eating, where is.... everything has to be
relearned. This is good for him; this keeps him busy, challenges his
brain. A brain can only live if it's challenged....
The biggest problem is his smoking. He is a total smoker from the
beginning. Because he survived 85 years with his incredible smoking you
can not argue with him about smoking with medical arguments. But nearly
the whole environment are non-smokers, are people with high sensibility
for smoke. Thus, the only reason which can change his behavior
is, that he understands, that his smoking does harm to people he
knows and likes. He has already learned certain situations,
where and when he should not smoke and he does not smoke...
DaddyG shows us what happens, when our brain will loosen its strength,
when it is weakening: the order of things becomes fuzzy. You can not
remember exactly. New changes are not more recognized and not more
remembered, or only were dimly. You will somehow be ware of this
weekening, but not clearly, only vaguely. This makes you unsure about
yourself and the environment. You will need people which you can trust,
and you must be able to trust. If you are not able to trust people you
are already lost. Your weak memory is leading you astray, your
interpretation of your world is becoming strange and false. Because
your active understanding can no more give complete explanations
of what happens you have to invent artificial causes to stay 'coherent'
with yourself; you will invent bad and evil people which are taking
things away (which never have been there, but you can not remember; or
yourself have removed them yourself, but you can not remember...). This
induces some fear in you, because you can not see these evil
people; then you will start to suspect certain persons in your
environment, because you need some reality in your interpretations; you
will start to accuse them, etc.....OK, this happens, if you can not
trust anymore. Until now DaddyG trust still at least a few persons
which can help him to correct his wrong views generated by a weakening
memory. But you doesn't know how long this will work. Some day, it can
happen, he will lose his trust in the few persons around... then he
will get lost in the spaces of his disfunctional memory. The boundaries
between imagined and real will fade away.
We will see. Live is as it is, but menwhile we can change it more and
more. Some days in the future, perhaps, we can manage to keep our
memory working. Would this be a solution? I think we should also learn
more about the 'framework' of life, about the whole machinery, which
generates every time step new living tructures which we never have
planned and produced. It's 'coming' and 'going'. But because the
complexity of this 'coming and going' is beyond everything which
mankind sofar could imagine there seems to be some more interesting
knowledge about --perhaps-- something more worth than we know
today. Nobody can really with a clear knowledge say, that the death of
our body is everything. Who is talking in this way is speaking without
knowledge. But to have a clearer mind about this 'bigger life' which is
showing its power in the phenomenon of evolution we have to learn a
lot, much much more than we know today. The 'religious' beliefs of the
past have been 'simple hints' and we are challenged to deepen these
views with a better, clearer, deeper knowledge. Because the whole life
is a process, which builts up constantly, we can only have the
'true' knowledge, when we really can include the future....and because
this is impossible during a running process, those generations which
actually are living will never have a complete knowledge before
death....
Otherwise, we have all the time more, than we know...
