Genetics and responsibility

In 2013 BBC performed a documentary about some teenagers who have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and monitored their progress as they altended intensive therapies to get rid of their unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviour.
A seventeen-year-old girl, Imogen who had a compulsive need to tap surfaces as she strolled around is one of these teenagers. If she fails to tap these surfaces, horrible thought of her family dying floods her heart. Imogen was told the truth that tapping surfaces cannot stop deaths. She was convinced of an unfortunate accident victim who died on the spot while his family member's effort to rescue him from the autocrash proved abortive. The only way to conquer fear, she was told, is to face it. Imogen greed and started some disciplines or work by restraining herself from the act.
Although, OCD is a terrible genetic and neurological disorder that cannot be curred, by the help of psychiatrists, she gradually started to manage this disorder. It was not easy for her initially but with time she confessed that: there are still monster at the back of her mind, but they are getting quieter now.
Taking responsibility against genetical make-up can range from these extremes to others such as height which has prevented some shy guys from making friend with women.
Tidbits for taking responsibility against negative genetical makeup or disorders are as follows:
1) Acknowledge the imperfections of these negative traits; know that they are symbol of weaknees which you can overcome if you choose to.
2) Call friends & family members' attention to this situation and how they can help;
3) Be resolute on your comintment to overcome it;
4) Include it as one of your daily goals;
5) Remind yourself that every man alive at one point or the other have dealt with one degree of OCD or depresion and overcame;
5b) Remind yourself you live ones and you can choose to allow OCD, depression or genetics to ruin it or you can choose to take charge of your life;
6) Marry someone who will not produce children with any form of genetical or health disorders.
Till next time when we shall be reading a new episode, don't forget to always become the best version of yourself.

For the sense of sight, it is predominantly the eyes and the brain which interprets what is seen that are involved. Some problem associated with the sense of sights are often associated with the eyes. Some of these health challenges are terminal or permanent and cannot be corrected while science and technology has provided solution to others which are not terminal. Examples of non-terminal, physical eye weakness are: (1) nearsightedness, (2) longsightedness. A nearsighted person can only see close objects but not far or distant objects while a long sighted individual can only see distant images or objects.  According to Helen Keller, she said: awful and to be pitied is the man who have a good sight but the mind that cannot see.
