Do you know what delirium is? My spontaneous reaction: it comes from taking drugs and puts the person who consumes drugs in a special state that is far removed from reality. Wrong. I looked it up and read: "Delirium refers to a sudden dysfunction of the brain. It is not a mental but a physical event with a disturbance of consciousness. Acute delirium is an emergency situation that requires intensive medical treatment as quickly as possible because it can be life-threatening. Anyone can develop delirium under certain circumstances. Delirium is always triggered by physical or psychological stress factors." So I was a little mistaken, as I would not have thought. We often have fixed opinions about things and people that are only partially true or not true at all. Therefore, caution and restraint are sometimes called for before jumping to conclusions.

I wish you an extraordinary day!
