Week 5
When reading Siebers’ text, one line about bodies really stood out to me. He says, “The point is simply that history reveals one unavoidable truth about human beings--whatever our destiny as species, we are as individuals feeble and finite” (278). Siebers is saying that no matter what we do to our bodies--eat healthy, exercise, etc.--we will inevitably die. People don’t seem to understand that. No matter how well or how poorly we treat our bodies or our minds, we will die regardless. What blows my mind is that society tells us that what is best is to live a full life that consists of being healthy and in shape, or your life is not worth living. We have all these social pressures of how to look and how to feel, but we all end up with the same fate. Naturally, the unknown is frightening. Because of this basic human fear of the unknown, we want to overcome the fear, or at least prolong its definite existence. The reason we want to perfect our bodies is because we want to change the inevitable.
Being fit and healthy means you are further away from death. Having a disability means you are closer to death. Just like death is inevitable, ending up with some form of disability is inevitable. With age comes disability. Hearing loss is just something that happens with age. Children can hear better than adults. They can hear higher frequencies, but those abilities disappear as they age. Loss of eyesight also happens with age. The body is not meant to live forever. We would all be suffering and living a lifeless life because our bodies would essentially fall apart. That’s just what happens. Siebers makes the point that “We are capable of believing at once that the body does not matter and that it should be perfected. We believe at once that history charts the radical finitude of human life but that the future promises radical infinitude. That we embrace these contradictions without interrogating them reveals that our thinking is steeped in ideology” (279). This is such genius to me because he is absolutely right. Every thought we have about what a body should look like it pure idea. Sure, science has made it apparent that we need to eat our fruits and veggies, that working out is good for the body and mind, but at what cost? What is the point of living life if we don’t live it the way we want to? I like my Dr. Pepper and fries from McDonald’s. I don’t do the yoga that I love as much as I probably should. But the knee that I’ve had three surgeries on hurts regardless of what I eat or how much I don’t work out. My disability is already apparent and it’s just going to get worse as I age. So since I will become disabled, and since I will die one day, I’m gonna live the way I want to live. Ability is temporary.
