Nella Vita di Handwashing

So in an effort to promote good hygiene and prevent swine flu (don't get me started!), the City has posted directions (with visuals) in all the bathrooms on how to wash your hands and even how to use alcohol based sanitizers. I'm sorry, if you don't know how to wash your hands (though I have noticed that a lot of people actually don't...they just put the soap on dry hands and not pre-moistened hands) and especially if you can't figure out how to use a sanitizing, than I think you deserve to get swine flu!

Nella Vita di Ponderings

How do you tell a blind person what blind means? Or a deaf person what it means to be deaf? I was working with a blind individual this morning and it got me thinking. Blind people know that they can't see. But how can they know what 'see' means, and by extension, how can they know what it means to not see?

Other ponderings I've had regarding these populaitons...

What are deaf people's thoughts like? When I think, my thoughts are in my voice, kinda of like I can hear myself in my head. Do deaf people see themselves signing when they think?

Do our brains process colors and such the same way? I've been taught that this is red. Maybe you have been taught that what is blue to me is red to you. We both know the sky is blue, but maybe we all see blue differently. We would never know this either unless we were somehow able to process things and see things the way each other's brains do.

Clearly I am losing my mind at work...
