Disturbia !

I was wondering how some events disturb you while others don't. Like there are some emotions that take over all of your time and energy and also douse your mental enthusiasm for things. It really is a waste of energy put to bad use (evolutionarily speaking). Because if you look at it, it doesn't really solve anything, doesn't help you to lift your spirits, and other positive things of the kind. On the other hand, it makes you go languid, lowers your efficiency, DISTURBS you mentally, etc etc. Mostly you are engrossed in a mental monologue, dappling images and recollections from past events, ......@%&Y*(I)_O! And Voila, what do we end up with ? Nothing.

I remember one of my professor's lecture where she said that we come up with solutions when we sit quiet. That is when we ruminate best and our evolved brains also work best when we relax and try to be quiet. With other matters clogging the mind, uljhan ko suljhana becomes difficult seemingly.She gave a classical example of a monkey experiment. I found it pretty interesting. So that does explain why people resort to being reticent when troubled with such events. But, are most people thinking of solutions at this point is something that is highly debatable! 

Come to think of it, I was wondering how there might still be some level of mental evolution that must be silently doing its own work. Probably, like Darwin claimed, it is the ones who adapt the best who survive and not the rest. This probably at some level can be explained in terms of patients who find it tough to break out of their shocks/traumas. Or those who have undergone a life changing experience(a negative one) and are unable to adjust to the new environment.Those who are unable to adapt and move on.

Whatever the reason, I think disturbia must be recognised as a lethal weapon. Once you find yourself approaching it, its time to fight against it and do everything in your power to extinguish it. Trapping yourself in it might become like a bad habit. You will not be able to get out, even if you wanted to.

Might not be one of the best things I wrote. But it surely is something I consider seriously very often. It matters to me, and therefore it is on this page :-)
