Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2016-10-17]: An Italian was hit in the head and became… French. [1] The phenomenon is called “Foreign Language Syndrome” and it is rare. You see, all other people like us did not become who they are “suddenly” or without their will. We were born and asked what nationality we like and decided after careful consideration. Change perspective. And you will see you are as sick as the other people. Καλημέρα! Εγώ είμαι! Άλλαξα! Ή μήπως ήμουν πάντα όλοι; Think of the craziest scenario. This is life. Souls trapped in bodies by chance. Do not wonder. The mere fact that you do wonder explains everything.
