I chose to watch the Ted Talk on “My Stroke of Insight” by Jill Bolte Taylor. I found this video interesting. Ms. Taylor had a hemorrhage that caused her to have a brain of an infant.

consequences of guilt All actions have consequences. Sometimes one does not have to participate in the action‚ but only be related‚ and the crime committed can have serious consequences for everyone.
