Ahh, yes. Well the head shaving for me does go beyond the event. I know that by doing it I will not prevent someone from dying nor will I cure anyone immediately. The action itself is insignificant. For me it is making note that people including me are often so caught up in the bubble of our own struggles, that we fail to recognize that there are other struggles that transcend different colors of skin, ethnicities, sexes and genders, and within this prevails the struggle of our people. What happens when a family finds out that their child has cancer when they are struggling within the system? This act also reflects how thankful I am for my health and knowing that my hair will grow back. But many children die fighting without any hair. This is important because of the socially developed attachment to hair and identity, especially pertaining to gender roles. So it's not only about shaving my head, but living my life without hair until it grows back, and with that, challenging what is the norm, and what is considered sane and beautiful. I am also challenging myself and my emotional attachment for a good cause, knowing that what I am participating in will not make and immediate impact, but as many people participate, my small contribution will help with research and maybe make a difference for those who will call us their ancestors. I also happen to know how it feels when other's actions come with purity out of their hearts. This impacts the human emotion and helps as motivation. Imagine being a child with cancer and knowing someone is doing this for you.
