It's sad to say - but I don't.

 

I see my brain as a bank of switches, like light switches, except each one turns on and off a different function of the brain.  For example, my switch for sense of direction has never been on.  I’m thinking, it was never wired up to begin with.

There are switches for math and science, communication and spelling.  I was fairly along in life before my switch connected to fractions clicked on, but once it clicked, I was good to go.  It all made sense.

Only now has the switch showing me this bank of switches flipped on.  Now I see how things are all connected.  What it hasn’t yet shown me is a list of all available switches.  Consequently, I could have several rows of switches that I don’t even know about.  I’m sure the connection that allows me to envision endlessness is still off.  I’ve never been able to comprehend the edge of the universe.  I mean, if it doesn’t go on forever, there must be an edge to it, and if there is an edge, what’s just on the other side of it?

I myself, have intentionally flipped off the chicken and the egg switch.   Although which came first just might answer many other questions, I’ve gotten to a point where I just don’t care anymore.
