Scientists say that 24/7 the brain's job is to think ~ Not mine. It's burned out and gone on the blink

This one is thought provoking - what if we dont let our brains work 24/7, we might literally vegetate, but I hear you Gershon overuse of our brain will eventually contribute to our whole body going on the blink including our brain. Thoroughly enjoyed this write. Hugs Jennifer

Very good, Jennifer. Now one question remains: What about underuse of our brain? LOL. Happy Monday, Jennifer. ~ gw

The brain is just a jelly made up of amino acids and highly specialized fats. It can't think. Happy LD, Wolf)

Ha, Ha! Trust me, my mind is very, very fragile. It's often either blank or on the blink. I have no idea where the poems come from. Perhaps we can deduce that poetry is not necessarily a brain function! Best wishes, gw
