GA s04e05 - Haunt You Every Day
(start) There’s a reason surgeons learn to wield scalpels. We like to pretend we’re hard, cold scientists. We like to pretend we're fearless. But the truth is we become surgeons because somewhere deep down we think we can cut away that which haunts us. Weakness, frailty, death.(end) It isn't just surgeons. I don't know anyone who isn't haunted by something or someone. And whether we try to slice the pain away with a scalpel or shove it in the back of a closet - our efforts usually fail. So the only way we can clear out the cobwebs is to turn a new page or put an old story to rest - finally, finally to rest.
Isn't it funny or weird that off the top of my head, I can't think of one thing that really haunts me? I can't; I seriously can't. Even when I look back at my 24 (almost 25) years on God's green grey earth, I can't pinpoint any part of my life that I would want to cut away because it haunts me.
Is this a good thing?
On one hand, it is, because I suppose it means that I've relatively had it easy in life. Not born-with-a-silver-spoon-in-my-mouth type of easy of course. Let's just say I haven't had it hard. Sure, I've gone through rough times, but I haven't had it hard. On the other hand though, it may not be a good thing since you could suggest that I wouldn't know how to handle such a life-shaking tragedy if it hits me. God forbid.
But I don't know… have I had it better or worse than most people out there? I've always felt like I've been mostly floating in between throughout my entire life.
…
Oh yeah, I just realized that there is one thing that haunts me…
