HERE’S TO NEVER GROWING UP


Brain is the most intricate and complex part of human body. The more it grows the more complex your life gets. Our body functions smoothly because our brain is working smoothly. Well, it is the greatest machinery known to mankind which reasons and develops answers on its own. Someone rightly said ‘food for thought’…you feed this little machine with a breadcrumb and it searches for its source loaf.

And this is the reason why our lives today are a mess. Have you ever wondered how simple and carefree your life was as a child? And now how twisted and complex every relation has become. A child is never bothered by anything apart from his own little world. Neither he gives much thought to other people’s living and their nature nor is he ever curious to find reason for every happening and a result of which his life is always simple and you will mostly find them smiling.

Why can’t our lives remain the same? Why do we think so much unnecessarily? Why helping someone else has now burden. Don’t you think we’ve grown selfish and self-centred?

A child is never afraid to talk to people; even if they are strangers they still greet them with their heart melting smiles. Contrary to which adults think a thousand times before speaking to someone and the smile, well it’s once in a blue moon.

Well you might have your own apprehensions about what to speak, won’t it seem intruding, and will the person be willing to talk?  All these thoughts are just a play of your brain and hence you trouble your lives by not opening up.

Man being a social animal needs to interact and the brain that stops you from doing it is the main culprit. You may have certain fears that restrain you from opening up – speaking irrelevantly, being laughed upon etc etc. And all these are notions developed by your brain as a result of what you have seen and experienced around. Don’t let your brain trick you, even if it seems ill at ease go ahead talk your heart out and be yourself. There are only two possibilities either the group you are around becomes your own or you are still out of place, in any case you will eventually feel good and that’s the whole point of it. And if you fear of getting laughed upon, don’t bother, because thousands of thoughts cross human mind in a day and certainly we tend to remember only the relevant ones. So they probably will forget your incidence within a day.

See it is such thought process that complicates our life. It was so easy when we made friends with just handshake and broke everyday only to reconcile the other day. From a habit of sharing even petty issues like I lost my eraser today to bottling up all the major ones now. We should go ahead and express ourselves.

Brain creates notions about people which may or may not be true. But being humans, whenever we’ve conflict between our mind and heart we always listen to our brain. Consequently we miss on to relations or strain them. Whenever you feel ill about someone, go up to them clear your assumptions and give a start to a great bond.

Life will be much easier if we could just live it with simplicity.
