Trepans...

Haha, learnt a new word today: "Trepans".
Definition: an instrument resembling a carpenter's brace and bit formerly used to remove circular sections of bone (esp from the skull)


What can I say about Trepans?
I mean, they're just Trepans, right?
Imagine that thing sticking itself forcefully into you head.
TERRIBLE.
Surely cause headpain like crazy.

I heard it might even be able to transmit nerve signals down your brain, if used in a specific manner.
Do this, do that, don't do this, don't do that.
Since when did a human being with possibly higher level of intelligence have to follow the orders of Trepans?
They tell you that using Trepans would cure problems with your head, everything from mental problems to bad habits.
What the hell, I don't even wanna let those things get close to me.
Why should they tell you what to do?
They think it is for your own good, "relieving pressure in the brain".
What makes them think they know what is good for you?
Do they understand your life better than you do?
"Oh, its experience", they say.
"We have seen so many people who have changed for the better with the help of Trepans."
Yeah, but what makes them think I am the same as the next person beside me?

That said, there are different types of Trepans too.
Large ones, tiny ones, ones decorated with padding and laces,
and ones with growling metal teeth which spins with a rusty and irritating squeak (like those I have).
As if having something drill into your head is not irritating enough, try it with a nail-scratching screech beside you.
My God...

And its not a once off thing, not even close.
Every once in a while, just when your life is finally taking a good turn,
they'll come in and say, "Sorry(Always omitted word. I added this word so it'll sound more polite), we'll have to drill your head again,
cos...(I don't know)...you forgot to hang up your clothes.
It is almost as if these Trepans have a conscious, to torture and nothing but to torture.

Well, what can we do?
We can't just remove them or anything, cos after all your life is connect to them.
Just hope and pray that soon, you can live independently without them...

p.s. TrEpAnS = pArEnTS
