Im back...
In this movie, I saw enough of myself that it distrubed me.
There were times in my past that I had to learn
to ignore peoples voices and their faces that were not truly there. They were the voices of my Mother and others. I referred to them as the voices from my past...kind of like in A Christmas Carol with E Schrooge.
I had learned that to listen to them and do what they said got me into trouble and ruined my life. There were times in my past(esp during those first years of recovery) that i need a lot of 'gentle reality checks' from family and friends...I also often felt that i was being forced to'walk over the hot coals barefoot' to learn those things that most 'normal' people learn throughout their growing up and on into adulthood..I realized then I had a lot of catching up 'growing up..to do in the real world to fit in and be what I wanted in my life..More than anything, I..like John Nash, learned what my independence and freedom was worth. That daily freedom to pursue those things in life that are of value to me personally came with a price.
John obviously loved his wife and his work.
I have met a few people that have been labeled 'genesis', they were definitely not very social animals. I tend to think that it is like nature gave them this 'gift' and then expected them to devoted their whole lives on this Earth to help mankind and if they had time for a personal life after, then it was OK.Most of the really good surgeons (esp heart transplant surgeons) I have had the honor to meet have a JN type personality.. socialy distant, a non-people person, task oriented-focused. ( and quite frankly, if I had to have surgery, I wouldnt mind having a doc that his primary focus was doing a really good job on my surgery..)
Yes, there were lots of technicial medical pieces of this movie that I also could disect.
To do that would be like disecting a beautiful flower...once you have disected it, just how beautilful would it be then...Take Care.
