Have you ever wonder...?
Did you know that the human brain is not meant to think?
Philosophy, Math, the Fine Arts.
The brain is nothing but the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals its function is to act on the rest of the body either by generating patterns of muscle activity or by driving secretion of chemicals called hormones. This centralized control allows rapid and coordinated responses to changes in the environment.
So, basically, the brain is responsible for senses as vision, hearing, balance, taste, and smell.
Though, if we would see this from a philosophical point of view, what makes the brain special in comparison to other organs is that it forms the physical structure that generates the mind.
As Hippocrates put it: "Men ought to know that from nothing else but the brain come joys, delights, laughter and sports, and sorrows, griefs, despondency, and lamentations."
I must agree with him... You see, the brain is responsible for your "feelings" as well. Though, this feelings are all "logical".
What makes you "feel" joys and sorrows? The the thinking that you've lost something because of "this particular reason" or the tinking that you like this for "that particular reason".
Have you ever noticed that you always know why you like or dislike something or someone?
"I like this because it smells nice, and looks pretty, and its usable"
"I don't like this because its annoying, looks dreadful and stinks"
We always look for the "whys" in everything, specially in our life choices:
"Why should I take this and not that?"
"Why did I do this mistake?"
"Why am I not like that?"
Seriously... what is the point of knowing the "why" in everything?
Sure thinking has its advantages regarding medical research and technology and of course the human being will always have the need to think, otherwise we woulnd't be able to feed our egos and to think of ourselves as better than others... like good narcisist assholes, but hey! try to separate society from living...
When was the last time that you've lost the strengh on your knees by just shaking someone's hand for the first time?
When was the last time that you're heart almost jumpped out of your chest after just looking at a landscape?
And how many times you've wondered WHY am I feeling this feelings...
The more you think WHY the less you feel reallity...
Don't think about this... just read it and try to leave day by day.
I'm pretty sure that most of you will not understand what I've just wrote, and haters' gonna hate. But I'm counting on the 1% (there is still hope).
