Body & Mind

Description

An ulcer is a small scream emerging from the depths of skin or mucous membranes. Although the body ought to be engaged in healing, this affliction peculiarly refuses to cease and often expands its reach. The more attention you pay to it, the more troublesome it becomes; the more you ignore it, the stronger it asserts its presence—a nuisance akin to an unpaid debt. Its real cruelty lies in the duo of pain and anxiety, which together deprive daily life of any semblance of peace.

Definitions

  • Marks on skin or membranes that testify to forgotten pain.
  • A stubborn vandal refusing healing and befriending neglect.
  • A tiny insurgent that mercilessly flashes warning lights called pain.
  • An ephemeral visitor that reveals itself as if answering prayers of medicine and bandages.
  • An invincible occupying force that steadily expands its territory, indifferent to treatment progress.
  • A sinister bomb that, when neglected, leaves catastrophic damage in its wake.
  • A ruthless chef denying any escape from pain and robbing everyday peace.
  • An endless sonata of chronicity secretly performed deep within the organs.

  • A duo fortress that assaults the mind as well as the flesh.

Examples

  • “So the ulcer healed then reappeared? It’s like a subscription that renews itself without consent.”
  • “Doctor, when will this pain end?” “Ulcers are ungrateful guests; farewells may come sooner or later, but never on time.”
  • “Applied ointment and bandaged it?” “Yes, I perform the ritual daily—devout, aren’t I?”
  • “They say if you neglect it, it’ll grow.” “Neglect? I stare at it every morning, thank you very much.”

  • “Tried a new treatment method?” “I did. The ulcer gave me a stern review.”
  • “Can’t go on that trip?” “The ulcer refused to sign my passport.”
