This is what happens when you smoke weed for the first time.

Gotta check Jill Bolt Taylor in "Ode to the Brain" by symphony of science. It's enchanting.

I'm in a constant process of melding / marrying the right and left sides of my brain. This talk reminded me: the marriage is important. Recognizing the importance of the right brain is important. What an amazing insight. I personally need more of these reminders in my life. I aim to recognize my right brain more, and revel in it thoroughly. And hopefully, help build the bridge between the two selves. Thank you, Dr. Bolte Taylor!

I love how I wish to believe in the right side of the brain: Everyone be together, at peace with one another. But unfortunately my left side states the cruel reality. We are human, we all make mistakes. Mistakes that cause others pain, pain leads to hate, hate leads to more pain, then revenge which is a mistake, and back again the cycle repeats. "I'm Better Than You!" We need to get rid of that thought.
