If you never heard the phrase "amaurosis fugax" take this opportunity to enlighten yourself of what 
Its a strange condition that most people have never heard of before.
Don't be worried. The chances of it happening to you are very rare.
WHAT IS IT?
More so....
WHY DO I CARE?
I'll tell you why.
I met someone with a repetitive condition of "amaurosis fugax" over their life span, and the doctors "think" it could be this or that...or it just might be "cortical blindness"
Wait a minute!
amaurosis fugax or cortical blindness
You don't need to have this condition, to understand, and appreciate and learn what it is...
I'll put it in simple terms.
One day you're driving, you go instantly blind, you yell to your passenger "take over the wheel. I can't see"
.
In a scramble, the passenger guides the vehicle to the side of the road. They drive you to the hospital. They do tests.
Over the next full week you're 100% blind in both eyes.
...and then a week later, your eye sight returns.
"This is a known condition. Albeit rare", the doctor tells you.
Sometimes you're going to go fully blind, without notice.
How do you take something like that? People with this condition cope with it. It's an "episode". Sometimes it can lead to permanent blindness. Sometimes it is just temporary. You could have one episode, or many. It could re-occur 3-4 years apart.
...the person that explained it to me tonight, that had this happen to them many times... doesn't have a choice. They deal with it.
...What is extremely odd, more than the rare condition, is that they are an artist for a living.
.
Can you imagine that? An artist losing their eyesight, going blind, and regaining it again multiple times?
The reason for this blog post, it doesn't matter to me what is happening in my life. ....and reading this... you might think so too.. You might say..."wow" at least that hasn't happened to me or anyone I know!
.
- ...but then you think about Bitcoin falling, or STEEM price falling, or the unknown destiny of cryptocurrency, and the stress it can play on your investments.
If you can SEE this blog post right now, and you can SEE tomorrow. Your vision is intact...
.
Realize there are people out there with amaurosis fugax or temporary cortical blindness that makes them blind for a week, maybe two or three weeks...
...Life can deal real hard hands.. and major stresses. Bitcoin and the price of your cryptocurrency isn't one of them.

===========================================================
Sometimes it helps us lower our stress to realize, there are those dealing with much harder situations than our own.
...we should appreciate what we have.
