Christina was just living her life. But when she lost her proprioception she stated seeing value in activities, that had seemed small before this accident. I think it’s excellent example for discussing the Wittgenstein’s quote. We don’t pay atteintion to „simple” possibilities that we have from our bodies. We just think it’s obivious, that we are able to walk, talk and do daily activites. Christina had lost these abilities and then started noticing how important it was. For example, she was thrilled when she could feel wind and light touch on her skin during the car ride. I think that we should appreciate little things like this.
