Why Engage If You're Only Going To Be Enraged

Hey Jessiahs

I'm sure all of you have had to deal with humans at some point in time, they're everywhere, spreading like the plague and basically unavoidable at this point. I still feel like humans are meant to be nomadic creatures and should be exploring and finding space away from one another. This mass congestion of urban living seems unnatural and the time we spend in each other's faces can get to be too much.

Yes we're social creatures then we came up with the concept of monogamy to encourage procreation and have someone or some people to interact with, yeah that's right there was a point where people only dealt with other people they created themselves, how weird of an echo chamber is that?

The digital world and urban living has brought us closer together and when we're in such confined spaces physically and mentally we're going to lash out at one another from time to time. I don't think people even realise it anymore as it becomes a norm, an acceptable behaviour, part of the communication process so to say.

How many times have you been in a situation where someone would start a conversation which means they want a response only for you to tell you they don't want or didn't ask for your opinion? This type of irrational behaviour happens literally every day, while that may be a well laid out version some people use subtle queues to bring their message across but in fact, it's the same situation.

Go to time out

Just like when kids misbehave parents and teachers would isolate them from the group for a while so they can be alone with their thoughts and just not have to deal with this burden of interacting simply because people are around. Adults should look to do the same with self-discipline, take some time out, meditate, leave people alone for a bit and just re-centre yourself.

If you're being triggered or enraged I think that's more of a reflection on you and your perception than external factors. I think it's kind of like a signal you supposed to listen to and say hey maybe I'm wrecking myself, time to check myself.

Listen to yourself

No, seriously listen to yourself! Was that a response from a sane person? Was that called for in the situation? It could be a sign that your wavelengths and vibrations are way out of wack and you're probably going to attract more shit to trigger yourself, it's like a cycle once you're in it and many people never escape, they live their lives this way.

The funny thing about the mind is that we can convince ourselves of any bullshit, we are our own biggest liars, we can validate any behaviour and its slippery slope and before you know it you're validating things you would never do because you keep making concessions. If you don't toe the line, you can always move it, right? That's how people give themselves permission to get progressively worse and not even notice it.

I guess what I'm saying is, if you're running too hot, perhaps its time for a reboot! I don't know hey? humans are fascinatingly weird creatures. What do you think?

Have your say

Holla at me in the comments! All my commenters I will now refer to as Jessie. Jessie is a good friend of mine, but Jessies got a girl, and I want to make her mine.

So have at it my Jessies! If you don't have something to comment, simply comment "I am a Jessie."
