Re: What would you do?
Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.

It's all very subjective. Noone can really understand another person's frame of mind and the decisions they make then. Everyone eventually does what they think is right.CatInTheHat wrote:True.

And I really don't think anyone does until/unless they are in a position like that.

Thats a sensible thing to do, but can you really control your emotions that way?Genaaa wrote:Being in that situation is honestly really hard to even imagine. Obviously, I'd probably fall into sadness and even depression in the end. Though I'd try to not go overboard with my reaction, because drastic things can't be changed.

YUP! That's a caps-locked, Pam Halpert from The Office, YUP! I feel like, after all of that difficulty and even no longer looking like myself in the mirror, that'd be me. While I'd love to think I'd toughen up for the sake of revenge and righteousness, in all reality I can't really imagine that being reality.stoppoppingtheP wrote: I'd probably do a lot of crying and go into major depression...

This is an impossible thing to predict. I think that waking up and seeing that your fingers were missing would be shocking enough and not having a memory of what happened to you would send most people running from the room. Add to that the fact that you have had your face replaced by that of a man of a different ethnicity than your own, and you have a recipe for a nervous breakdown. The initial shock would be devastating. Our perception of self is so tied to our physical appearance. Even small changes like scarring can severely affect a person's self confidence. I think I would become deeply depressed. I don't know if I could go on. I would jump on the self pity train for sure. I though it interesting that Callaghan found some good things from the situation such as not having to look like his father anymore. That seemed to have been a point of contention for him. Also, he could move among members of his social group without being recognized. Overall, this was an interesting situation to consider as we read Callaghan's story.stoppoppingtheP wrote:When reading this book I was horrified by the events that occurred. The concept of having a face-change was difficult to comprehend. I wondered, if I was put in the the same situation as Callaghan, what I would do.
Truthfully, I don't know. I'd probably do a lot of crying and go into major depression...
