My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because this thread gave me cancer anyway.

Almost graduate, have a crush on each others for 4 years, never said to each other a single loving word. On the same train going home, he have to go through 34 stations, she 21 stations. Sadly she says to him: "Can you wake me up when we get to my house?" then fall asleep. Time passes, he wakes her up, but the train have gone far pass her station. She looks back at him: he smiles gently to her and says: "follow me home." She smiles, tears wells up in her eyes. They have never been so touched. Going deep into the small mountainous town, where he was born and grew up, she is sold to an ugly 50 years old.

It shows how our perception is easily manipulated. Been proven in many tests, but a real life experience makes is more easy to understand. Completely healthy eyes see smallest object instances as they are, but the brain combines it into a (sometimes very) different percepted image. ta-daa

Being color blind is nice though, thanks to them we have color blind mode in games.

*cough* +1 *cough*

On a side note, 1 of my family members and 1 close friend who never smoked, drank or done drugs all died <40 from cancer.

Everyone has cancer, it just takes something to trigger it, even a blow to the head can trigger brain cancer.

The lesson is, wear a helmet at all times, smoke untill you die.

Franklin says: "The entirety of our visual, tactile, taste, smell and other sensory experiences are, by definition, an illusion. The fact that we see it at all is an illusion: Its not a damn dress you are looking at, its electronic signals translated into photons emitted to your eyes, retranslated into electron signals, interpreted by your brain".

Silly turtle.
