The awakening and depressing story by Maise Crow, had an astonishing effect on me. Maise Crow is a Graduate Student in Ohio State who lives in New York. She created a video depicting the Trials of a teen named Max who has a disorder, a deteriation of the 15th chromosone. It tells of his pain with carrying on with a disorder that gives him a insatiable apetite, something I could only describe as a Curse of Glutton. His Caretaker watches over him and makes sure he is okay, but through the constant slide show of pictures you can see, the pain and struggle he himself, the caretaker goes through to protect and give Max the love he rightfully deserves, the type and human being deserves, no matter what has been dealt to them at birth.
Max describes the urge to eat as Knives to his stomach. The sharp shining blade that we recognize as something to make bisecting and dicing materials, aswell as a weapon used to take the Priceless and famed gift of Life. Imagining that you ancidently cut yourself, but magnify that repeatedly in your body, just to a natural instinct like Hunger could be menancing.
When I think about what Max may grow through in his life, what anyone with this disorder might go through, I feel discontent and I get a feeling in the pit of my Stomach, because I can't stop it. I have this urge to find him and help, but how? It may be my natural reaction or just compassion, I don't even know if its just pity in me making me feel this. I just know that this shouldn't have happened to someone, It's not rude or mean, or unfortunate or funny to me. It's just seems Evil, and like a good person, I think evil has to be stopped.
