Hey everyone, Welcome to another DailyJim It is the episode for monday august 15th 2022. Just a couple of minutes late. Oh, what I want to talk about today? I think the fragility of life, um, I was talking to a buddy of mine the other day and he said he went through a surgery that had a complication, very low percentage chance of complication, but had the complication and doctors couldn't figure out what was going on. And he basically ended up bedridden for five months and fortunately he's starting to feel a little bit better. But yeah, and it just, I mean using his thirties and it's just this idea that.
We never know when something is just going to go away, some capability that we have or even life itself, you know, and how that really can affect us.
Yeah, my current situation is much less severe than that, but it's still, I think talks of the same principle. So I've been feeling a little bit sick, a little sore throat, maybe a little body ache and such. And I've tested for Covid a couple times at home. It's not, doesn't seem to be covid according to the tests and, you haven't been noticing that my voice has been getting a little strained or a little a little harder to speak. And I think we'll shoot if I'm doing a podcast and I'm doing a lot of audio drills and reflection exercises.
What happens if I lose my voice.
And I'm sure a lot of other people have thought this, you know, singers and speakers and you know specifically about the voice, but, just in general, you know, what happens when we lose the, particular capabilities that we have for, that we use for our job or we lose capabilities that we have for other aspects of life, you know, and somebody loses the ability to walk. Um one thing, if it's just a person who enjoys walking, it's another thing if the person walks or stands for a living by living, I mean for profession, for work. And just how quickly so many things can change in our lives when something like that happens, thinking, you know, a couple, a couple weeks ago I slammed my finger in the door and kind of damaged a fingernail pretty good. And I was thinking, man, if I really busted this finger, if I broke a finger now, how am I supposed to type on the keyboard? I mean I could do it but its productivity could drop pretty quickly and just thinking about little things like that maybe as a kid, okay, maybe I can't write as well on the exam or in class, but is it as do I rely as much on those abilities to maneuver through the world as a kid, is when I do when I'm adult.
So yeah, just really kind of contemplating how.
Certain aspects of life again, fragility but also resilience and how these certain capabilities that we have can, disappear pretty quick or become hindered for longer than we imagined and how we have to adapt in some ways.
Trying to think, okay, I'm gonna do a podcast if I can't speak well maybe by the time I lose the voice, if I properly lose it, that there will be an ai which can imitate my voice and I can use that to do a podcast. Oh no, but then other people could use that to do a podcast of me. Oh no. Now we're going to have holograms of me in the future and the mind can reel on the different technological capabilities that we may have in the future.
Anyways. Yeah, so just thinking about that and how.
Almost appreciate and take advantage of the capabilities that we have while we have them because we don't know if they'll go away or if they'll change and.
It's almost this idea of life's too short, enjoy while you got it. What's what's some phrase that I probably don't agree with them while you got him or something? I don't know if that refers to cigarettes or whatnot, but not my style. But anyways, um I'm tired. I'm going to go to sleep and I hope this, I don't know, I just gave you a little insight into what my voice is so soft and strained.
Alright, talk to you soon, bye.
