Journal on '' Living under Circe's Spell''

This articles starts with a really catchy quote:"life is brief, time's a thief". The narration tells the acnedote of this man who suffers multiple sclerosis, and describes how has it been. For example he mentioned that when he was younger he used to play sports and was really athletic and even use avoid people that were in wheelchair. The author describes that at the beginning he used a cane , then crutches, and eventually a wheelchair; but he was in denial, he thought he would become a disable athletic, that he could still go to olympics for disables but things didn't go that way. Is even depressing how he mentiones that he feels he had lost his manhood because as he mentioned " the very act of sitting implies demotion", for him a man had to stand up for things. At the end as in the beginning he is still waiting for someone that can rescue him from the ground " waiting". I like the way the author describes the cycles he went through and use a cronological order.
