When a person gradually forgets everything about himself, and even forgets who he is, is there no difference between living and dying?
The movie "Still Alice" tells such a story, the protagonist of the film Alice is a linguist, married to her husband for many years, the relationship is good, they also raised three children together, it can be said that the first half of Alice's life can be said to be a winner in life, smooth sailing. However, all this changed when she was 50 years old!
She began to continuously forget some small things in life, as a linguist she began to forget logic, and then she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
It was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day for her life! As a language worker, the disease meant she was doomed to lose her job, and her life became a mess as her illness worsened.
There is a plot in it that I still remember very well, Alzheimer's disease has a genetic risk, one of her three children chose not to do genetic testing, one was lucky not to carry the disease-causing gene, and one was unfortunate to carry this disease-causing gene. Subsequently, she kept crying and apologizing to her daughter. She was very guilty about this matter, but it was only providence, not her fault!
In the early days of Alice's diagnosis, she recorded a video in which, when she saw the video, she went downstairs to take medicine and committed suicide, so as not to lose dignity and involve her children in her later life.
When she saw the video again, she was already very sick, and now she has even forgotten who she is? After watching the video, she went downstairs again and again to find medicine, and then forgot her purpose again and again, and went back and forth, until her family returned and found that she had not completed this small thing that seemed very simple to ordinary people: going downstairs, looking for medicine, and eating.
After that, she never had the chance again, it can be said that her sanity at this time has been very unconscious, often forget things, and the next day after the quarrel with her daughter, she only remembered the quarrel, but forgot the content of the quarrel, and even in the end, the daughter told her a story, she could not understand what was being said, but we saw the last is, but we can know that this drama is about love (love)!
I almost cried and watched this play, because I was particularly touched by this disease, my grandmother also suffered from this disease in old age, I witnessed her forget our appearance a little bit, no longer know me, no longer know the world, every day is afraid of things around me, can no longer talk with me to play with me, can not do what I like to eat, and even need me to take care of her in turn, she began to pee her pants, but when eating dumplings, she remembered to leave some, saying "Mengmeng likes to eat this, to keep her." Even at this point I was sitting next to her.
Perhaps the only thing they remember at this time, as mentioned at the end of the film, is the human instinct of "love".
Alzheimer's disease is a very terrible disease, even more terrible than cancer, because of this disease, you can't even find a way to fight it, you can only let it erode your sanity day by day, little by little, forget things, forget your relatives, and even forget yourself! Living in a world where you can no longer fit in.
Death is not terrible, what is terrible is to live without dignity!
Alzheimer's disease is such a disease without dignity, in the later stages of this disease, your life is close to being unable to take care of yourself, forgetting the people around you, always needing someone to accompany you, and even finally becoming a burden to the family, without dignity!
When a person completely forgets himself, is it the same as dying? If it were you, what choice would you make?
