Release

Since I got the new intense class, I have to teach in the afternoon every day. I wish I didn’t have to do this so I could read some more of neuroscience. There was a study concerning altruistic brain recently. The research was conducted by Duke University. My immediate response was: what makes people different in this specific area if the study’s finding is sustained? Could people really become real altruistic if this area were stimulated at the early stage of cerebral development? What about the role of cognitive perception and religious beliefs? Of course there is always the environmental impact involved in the course of cerebral maturity…

Someone asked me whether I was preparing for medical school. Well, not exactly. I just answered it was a personal interest that I read books about neurology and neuroscience. My focus is based on the linguistic characteristics associated with brain and multi-lingual mind. These things just mesmerize me tremendously. I would give up my life for any major breakthroughs in this regard, I swear!

Eventually I got a spare moment to write again. What a release! I really need this to put all the trivial matters behind my mind and enjoy a bit of solitude and self-reflection. I should read some Norwegian before I hit the sack tonight…
