اللوحة تظهر Cupid إله الحب بأجنحة نسر وقريب من رجليه آلات موسيقية ودرع وتاج وبعض الكتب المتناثرة، دلالةً على أنّ الحب ينتصر على جميع المساعي البشرية مثل المعرفة والموسيقى والحُكم والفن ويخضعها كلها لسلطانه (Amor vincit omnia)

I read a theory once that the human intellect was like peacock feathers. Just an extravagant display intended to attract a mate. All of art, literature, a bit of Mozart, William Shakespeare, Michelangelo, and the Empire State Building. Just an elaborate mating ritual.

Every doctor knows someone like this—the guy you go to when you’re stumped. Or worried. Or scared. In every hospital or community of physicians, there is always that one doctor whose clinical acumen and breadth of knowledge seem far greater than anyone else’s. There is no list of such names or awards given for this honor. It’s simply word of mouth among physicians.

لا يَملِـكُ أنْ يأنسَ بغيرِه مَن لم يَكُن له إنسٌ بنفسه.
إنه لا يَأنسُ إلى الغَير ولا يَعرِفه بل "يستعمله" و"يستهلكه" هربًا من ذاته الفارغة التي لا تُرضيه ولا تَشفيه ولا تَمنحه أساسًا داخليًا يُقِيم عليه، مع الغير، علاقاتٍ أصيلة.

Alcohol temporarily reduces the essential tremor (ET) for about 1 to 4 hours depending on the dose (shot). Afterwards, it causes rebound and worsens the tremor for about a day or so.

Still, alcoholism causes cerebellar degeneration and worsens the tremor eventually, and that's why vodka is not considered a medication... yet.

Children are fascinated by people whose appearance differs from what they’ve come to expect. And we teach them to ignore that interest. My daughter, Tarpley, once asked a cashier if she was a man or a woman. My husband flushed with shame for the discomfort it caused the homely, hirsute woman. He apologized but recognized that the damage was done. Afterward he explained to our daughter just how much that kind of comment must have hurt the woman. She doesn’t ask those kinds of questions anymore. She’s learned not to stare.
Medical school forces you to undo that training. You mustn’t avert your eyes from abnormality. You need to seek it out. You need to figure it out. And it doesn’t just turn off when you leave your office. I frequently (quietly, I hope) point out to my husband pathology that I see on the street—the rolling gait of a man with an above-the-knee prosthesis; the strange gray-toned tan of a man with iron overload syndrome, known as hemochromatosis, the schizophrenic woman’s restless lips and mouth, a long-term side effect of many antipsychotics. I now live in a world filled with abnormality. It’s fascinating.

I think I can speak on behalf of people who are bilingual or speak more than a language and confirm that..

You'll always feel like there is a language barrier between you and someone who's monolingual, its more complicated to express your thoughts without slight hesitations

On that thought,
I kinda feel like it's the same when it comes to Professions.

If you're a professional in your field and you invest much of your time and energy in it. Whenever you would have a long enough conversation with someone, you're gonna be hit with that same "language barrier" feeling
