How do we fundamentally define ourselves?
Over the years, I've had many titles: son, father, hockey player, husband, physicist, PhD canditate, angry subverter of the status quo. How do I define myself? I define myself as an atheist trying to cope with a chronic illness which will hit me at the drop of a hat without any warning.
What I'm intending to explore in this blog is how does one cope with being "cursed" with a chronic condition which fundamentally affects your worldview & outlook on the future whilst not having religion to fall back onto. How does one cope with the trials and tribulations of a disease which gives no warning but can fundamentally alter how you interact with the world and not have the crutch of religion to lean upon which allows us to look forward to the blessings of the "after-life"?
