When our mental functioning is whittling away and our mind becomes a lame duck, perception does not form the context anymore and all connections on the social chessboard are conked out. Only patience and endurance may draw us out of the quagmire of numbness and allow us to tear open the cloudy screen that is hiding our points of interest and attention, so long as we focus on the singular moments and the appealing details in our life. Awareness can help us shape a comprehensive picture for a functional future. ("Lost the global story.")
