Giving Away My Brain
|
The thing is, it's tough to give away your brain.
I am an organ donor. Pledging organs is easier to do, I think, because I am not my heart or my liver or my lungs. I am, however, my brain. That's how I see myself. I live inside my skull. I imagine there are pulleys and cables that animate my limbs, that make me smile, that make me jump out of the way of cars.
This is the case and I know it is not the case. Everything in the Universe that I know or have ever known has been inside my brain.
