B Vitamins Doesn’t Help Alzheimer’s Disease
I just thought this article was interesting. Alzheimer’s Disease is one of the scariest things to me. I’m glad they’re trying to find ways to find a cure. Maybe I can contribute to that research one day. I can’t even imagine what it’s like to lose your memory. This is why I’m so interested in Neuroscience.
Memories are so valuable. Good and bad. And it’s weird because memories are so unique. They have a big impact on who you are today. Can you imagine not being able to remember your family or who your friends are? Think of all the people that you care about and are really important to you. What would it be like to lose all your memories of those people and forget how much they mean to you?
I think what’s even crazier is that you wouldn’t know that you forgot. It’s because of this that I feel like Alzheimer’s can be more painful to a person’s loved ones sometimes. Because if you think about it the other way - how would it feel to have someone that you care about forget who you are?

So apparently, in one of the studies, men felt the flirtatious woman was a good alternative and felt less committed. Women saw the friendly guy as an alternative too but also saw the threat the guy posed on their current relationship. So the women tried to strengthen their relationships. Speaking from personal experience? I agree that this happens. I’m sure there are exceptions, because I don’t like generalizations. But let me just say that this hits close to home. I’ll explain why if you ask me. But for now I’ll just talk about the bigger picture.
I don’t consider myself the type of person who sees things in black and white. I usually try to find the gray area and try to understand both sides of things. But at the same time, I still want to have my own opinions. And I used to think it was easy to have an opinion about infidelity. I was against it. Plain and simple. I felt like I understood possible reasons why people would do it, but I was still against it.
I’m not saying that I would ever cheat or would want to be cheated on, but I can’t look at this topic the same way anymore. Now that I’ve heard different sides of different situations, I know it’s more complicated than I thought. I sort of knew before already, but now I know how difficult it can be for all parties involved. Continue reading ‘Love and Infidelity’
