Mental illness has taught me one thing: most everyone
elevates the brain above all other vital organs. We know the heart causes blood
to pump, which is vital for life. However, we wouldn’t call our heart a
murderer when it stopped working. However, if the brain miscalculates a
situation or perceives something wrong, we blame it on ourselves. I think the
brain is more involuntary than voluntary. I am no scientist, but the brain is
not our savior. It will fail us and we can’t rely on our intellect or wisdom to
save us in any form. Our brain will, at times, lie to us. We can’t will it to
function perfectly, just like we can’t tell our heart to pump.
I wonder if there are any current studies about involuntary
vs. voluntary brain function. Hmmm
