Missing freedom

Life with one hand.
Most is possible.
And the La Paz taxi driver is remembered.
He had only one arm.
"What happened?", he was asked.
He had been driving with the door window open and his left arm hanging outside.
When another car crashed into the left side of the taxi.
Regaining consciousness he was in the hospital and noticed one arm was gone.
Nevertheless, he continued to work as a taxi driver.
And his car had manual transmission making the journey a demonstration of one arm virtuosity.

Having only one hand available asks the brain to think how to decide to do things.
What beforehand were automatic procedures of doing things based on the availability of two hands has changed to discover how to do the same performance single handedly.

This is rather interesting as an experience but nevertheless the normal use of two hands is wished to return sooner than later.

One or two is now also an issue with Christian couples according to news channel www.myway.com "Christian couples staying faithful online".
Married couples have their e-mail accounts with personal e-mail addresses.
Allowing each to communicate individually freely with no matter who.
Like Lance Maggiacomo.
He was out of work, bored and lonely when he started hiding his online relationships from his wife.
There was no affair, only chatting through e-mail, yet it felt like cheating just the same.
The solution?
He and his wife Lori, like other Christian couples in the USA, share one e-mail account as a safeguard against the ever-expanding temptations of the Internet.
From two to one too.

It is not like a hand that accidentally got pierced by a piece of metal to be not available anymore.
It is consciously giving away freedom and independence.
Voluntarily allowing to be monitored.

The situation will be that maybe one of the two would like to communicate with another person but will refrain out of fear what partner in house and bed might say.

Even conflicts could arise about what is appropriate and what not.

And of course all messages personally received are read by the other person.
Even those of friends who may reveal very intimate matters.

What these Christian couples using only one e-mail address for both are missing is trust.
If there was sufficient trust between them, no such weird and police like solutions would be necessary.
Life could be with two hands.
