Comment on ChapterAt the End of the Road - Chapter 2
I just think... if a person says that he completely forgets about everything, doesn't that mean he is unable to talk or just do the basic stuff since he has no recollection of how to do them.
Like imagining a person forgetting everything about his life, his mind has nothing in so he could only do the thing that a baby does 
he couldn't really talk because we are able to talk because we were taught how to do so
And if he doesn't forget how to do basic stuff, so what is the level of his comprehension or education? Dose he only forget about the events related to him and his family? Even if that is the case, some prior things people learn and get in life are basically via family's instructions or from the surroundings. If a person truly forgets about everything in his life, doesn't he forget about his own identity and other basic manners of a normal human being? 
I'm just talking nonsense though, but the cases with amnesia have always intrigued me for a while. Can't understand what is going through a mind of a patient suffering severe conditions of amnesia

@GurlBon mmm you do have a point however i believe that maybe memories can be severely affected by cases of amnesia however you cannot discount muscle memory of your motor functions. I think those are also decided in a different area of the brain than where memories and such are stored.
@GurlBon  what would happen if a Chinese person switched bodies with an Australian? Guy would be speaking in the Aussie accent, his family would be discombobulated

@GurlBon   he's another person tf! R u in the same page as we. He's faking his amnesia because he's another person & this is the best way to shut them all out about his daily life because he know nothing.

Yes, i know that he was faking his condition but my og comment doesn't refer directly to him but the cases of patients with amnesia in general. I wrote 'Imangine' so obviously i did not intend to talk about him. Plus, the whole commemt was just my random thought, not really relevant to the main story.
