What does mental hurry do to the body?First of all, it contracts certain muscles; and keeps them contracted till it itself is there.Since it has become a way of the personality, it's not going to go.
It's going to stay, rather, for good.Waiting is one good example of mental hurry.We wait for something, or someone, or for some opportunity to cross our way.
Why do we do so?Why do we wait for something that is not there right now to enjoy?
The reason is simple. We are not enjoying what right now is there. At least we are not enjoying it fully. We are not fully involved into what we are doing.That means we are not honestly doing it. At most it is partial honesty that we are doing it with.But partial honesty is partial dishonesty as well!
Mental hurry turns us dishonest.Or our dishonesty imparts mental hurry to our attitude.Whatever, but result is the same! It's we only whose life is turning into a living hell!
What do we wait for?
Something good!
Poor we! We do not have that much 'good' in our life right now that we psychologically need waiting for something good, or say, better!
We compare.
Comparing is another good example of mental hurry - we calculate out of two situations and the 'better one' do we start waiting for!And I am not saying it about big things of life only; I am talking about every single moment that we live.
We wait for our love
to come early, we wait for our food to get cooked fast - that is how fast food culture has taken its birth, we keep waiting for another customer to come to earn us some more profit in our business, we also keep waiting for the next promotion to get in our job, and we also keep waiting for more sex to shower its favors upon us...and when it comes to it, we cannot wait to have it slow - fast sex of slam, bam, thank you ma'm fame has become the culture of sex as well!
When we keep waiting for it when it is not, we cannot wait any more when it comes to it!
And we not only wait; at times we do its opposite also. When the situation conceived is not pleasant, we want to evade it also.
But is evading not a kind of waiting only - waiting for it not to happen? Only that it turns us into a person not with mental hurry as much as a person with mental lethargy.
Mental hurry and mental lethargy (or, procrastination) are the two sides of the same coin.
In mental hurry our greedy face comes to the fore; whereas in mental lethargy, it is the fearful aspect of our personality that does so.
Greed and fear, again, are the two sides of the same coin.
Although we do keep swinging between the two, it's one - either one of the two - that we take to be home to our personality and the other only an excursion!
Some people are more greedy than fearful, the others are more fearful than they are greedy.Whatever, but these two only are the seeds of all the emotions on earth, whether positive or negative!
Now, which muscles in the body does this nexus of mental hurry and mental lethargy contract?
The torso drops itself down, and then squeezes itself in, in order to defend us from the imaginary(not real - real one never drops it down!) onslaught of future adversity - whether emotional, physical or moral.
As the torso drops itself and then squeezes in to imprison us inside our own petty cage of our petty self, the hips get permanently pushed forward, the back gets permanently slouched, the skull gets continuously and permanently pulled down as well as in or forward - displacing the alignment of the two jaws in between themselves (whose jaws on earth are aligned properly - check your own!), by the drooping(as in academics) or the stiff(as in the army) shoulders affecting the most delicate organ or system of the body the very first, namely the eyes or the visual system - by spoiling the vision permanently - making it overt in one case, i.e., nearsightedness; and covert in the other, i.e., farsightedness (making itself apparent as the so-called old-age sight only after the age of 40 when near-reading parts company with the eye saying bye to it for the rest of the life!).
The less delicate organs or systems fall the next.
Digestion including acidity and constipation; breathing turning shallow affecting lung efficiency; blood supply including a weaker heart and the blocked arteries; hormone secretion getting disturbed resulting in diabetes and thyroid; liver, spleen and kidney spoiling their functions - all this is only the beginning of the list of the organs and the systems that go falling down one by one, and further...
None is to be spared.nnHeyeesha, huyeesha, all fall down!
What spoils health is that only, more than anything else on earth!
