Brain May Damage

More From Jules Feiffer

I have no sense of direction; i never know where i am. when i back up a car, i'm more likely to hit what's behind me than not, because i have no vision for it. i've never been able to play games or play cards because i can't in my head get the next move. i've never been able to balance a checkbook. so there's some brain damage, but it may be that very brain damage that allows me to do the work i do. i've never met a cartoonist who isn't quirky or weird in some ways.

Theologians talk about a prevenient grace that precedes grace itself and allows us to accept it. i think there must also be a prevenient courage that allows us to be brave - that is, to acknowledge that there is more beauty than our eyes can bear, that precious things have been put into our hands and to do nothing to honor them is to do great harm. and therefore, this courage allows us, as the old men said, to make ourselves useful. it allows us to be generous, which is another way of saying exactly the same thing.

I want to make activism a bigger part of my life, while hopefully maintaining the opportunity to help out causes that i really care about. and being an actor allows me to do that. shooting a cisco commercial allows me to do that. i mean, doing all these things allows me to talk about these issues. but don't think there aren't those moments where i'm like, "what am i doing? i have to quit my job and chain myself to a tree." believe me, i have those moments.

I think that god gave us a brain, and that it's the only thing we have to survive. all life forms have some advantage, some trick, some claw, some camouflage, some poison, some speed, something to help them survive. we've got a brain. therefore it's our duty to use our brain.

I never wanted to grow a thicker skin; i felt a real sense of pride in my thin skin, and in a weird way, i still do, because it's my thin skin that allows me to empathize with other people. it's the thing that allows me to create vulnerable art. it's the thing that allows me to create other feelings and make songs that actually grab people and touch people. i feel like i've spent my life fighting that thicker skin because i don't want to become an embittered asshole.

If you have certain problems with your brain but are raised in a good home, you might turn out okay. if your brain is fine and your home is terrible, you might still turn out fine. but if you have mild brain damage and end up with a bad home life, you're tossing the dice for a very unlucky synergy.

I have seen in many places housing which has been developed under government influences, but i have never seen any projects in which governments have played their part which have fountains and statues and grass and trees, which are as important to the concept of the home as the roof itself.
