Evolution kicked our ass very bad. (Rewind…Now stop). The reptilian brains (I mean brains in reptiles or insects) can only have instinctive responses. Their senses are the only things they can feel(#tag no relationship dramas). (Now fast forward). The Limbic System (brains in Mammals of course) has gone a bit further. In addition to sensations, mammals(animals) can experience emotions as well(lucky fellows). Now the real fun begins.
Fast forward to Homo Sapiens (ah, Humans). I pity them. The most developed and vastly unused brains are none other than humans. The only brain capable of making a concept, understanding it and can make a decision. The greatest misfortune of humans is, they can remember the past and can think about the future.
All the issues start here. And the sad part is most humans don’t actually know, what makes them human. It’s not kindness, or morals or some bulls*it theories that we believe in that differed us from animals or other species. it is our Brain that makes the difference. The only brain that is capable of being conscious, is the human brain. I don’t think even God has a brain as developed as ours(proud of u my baby).
The Uses Misuses of the Human Brain
- Wars
- Marriages
- Divorces
- Stupidity
- Enslavement
- Injustice
- Corruption
- Love
The list goes on. No other animal is capable of doing this except us. Animals fight for food, but we fight for power, for women, and sometimes even because of ego. No other animal in the world gets married, not even once(#1 reason for their well-being). And love, no other animal is capable of love, they just go for it and that’s it( no strings attached). But for us, we have endless drama called, love, relationship, unconditional love etc. It’s just too much. This is why we get depressed. No other animal in the world ever gets depressed. It’s not the issue of the brain. It is very powerful and intelligent.
The actual problem is with the possessors of it. we have the most amazing brain ever existed and we are just using it against us by skimming through Netflix, playing PUBG, smoking, drinking alcohol etc. I am not saying, you should completely avoid these things, hell no. These things will elevate our life’s experience. What I suggest instead is, whatever you do just be conscious about doing it. Now, coming back to the actual issue.
What’s the actual problem?
We, humans, have created endless drama in our lives. With all our imagination, We made a hell out of life. We made our existence miserable. All this s*it is because we don’t understand the power of our brain. The real problem is we have a powerful brain and we have no choice but to learn how to use it. (I mean to kick it). You have a weapon, a more powerful one than you can imagine. If you don’t know how to use it, it’s going to work against you. In other words, if you don’t learn to kick it, my friend, it is going to kick you very badly.
The Solution
The actual solution is to “Think”. To use the brain for its actual purpose. Now, you may ask me, where to start? Start with Questioning. Try to find the reason behind everything that has been created. Everything has a purpose, my friend. Remember the life-changing word, “Why?”. Whenever you face any issue, ask yourself, What is this?, Why is this thing created in the first place? Learn to question everything.
The person who questions will learn for himself, and the one who just follows is left behind.
