Complexity of human psyche

 The psyche can be defined as the totality of the human mind, conscious and unconscious. The three main elements of the psyche are 

# Identity - which forms your instincts 

# Ego - which culminates in reality 

# Super ego- Which questions us on morality and condemns our improper conduct. 

HERE THE MAIN QUESTION REMAINS, 

# What is the difference between mind and brain 🧠 

#what exactly is responsible for our decisions🤔 , and who decides whether they were right or wrong-  

We have come across comparison and struggle between brain and heart ( but that is a different story altogether). On one hand, the brain is a structural part of our body and so is the heart, but what is the mind?

According to me, the mind is located somewhere in the brain where the conscious and the subconscious meet.

Few people we come across follow their hearts. A few others, the practical types are led by their heads.

The remaining few are forever confused 😕.  They try to follow their minds, doing what is practical as well as acceptable. 

Still, they are always in a dilemma regarding their decisions. 

Take for eg. You are shopping 🛍 ☺ online. You find a great dress at a wonderfully discounted price. You may feel you've got plenty of dresses, and you don't need anymore,  then maybe the fit won't go with your body type and even the colour is not so great 😏 etc. Basically 'n' number of reasons for not buying it. Finally, when after a few hours you look up again, it's no longer available!!! 🤯You sit down to sulk.

Waaoww! Was it the brain, the heart or the mind or the trio collectively that conspired to not let you buy it and which of it, now is sulking over it?

Let's try another eg. 

Say, for instance,  you are young, vivacious and happy 😊 a guy who has been a great friend throughout comes up to propose. You think of so many things before you give the final answer. He is good at heart, understanding,  very interesting too, just a little impulsive and then you think 🤔 maybe this isn't the right time for getting into a relationship.  Why spoil the friendship etc. You tell him that you are not ready for it.  So far so good 👍 😌 . You are satisfied till he is not seeing anyone else. The day he gets committed,  you start regretting it.  You keep eyeing the couple and reprimand yourself as being impulsive too. 

Now whom to blame, 

the brain - with all its practicality 

the heart - with all its emotion and sensitivity 

Or the mind - if at all it was involved too 

God knows !! It's all so puzzling. Whatever we do it only adds to the mess 

Had you bought the dress, you could have repented thinking 🤔 you didn't need it.

Had you said yes to your friend, maybe things wouldn't have been as you expected them to be.

The human psyche is complicated 😕

DRIZZLE TO DOWN POUR

Image
  Disclaimer:  I am participating in  Blogging from A-Z challenge 2022  and this is my 4 the post for  D # Drizzle to Downpour  I was in the first year of college. We were given a preparatory leave for our midterm exams. It was Monsoon time.  That day I had a project to submit so had to go to college. Normally my whole group of friends would board the bus together, but today I had no company. The sky seemed clear. I felt if I could get the bus at 8, reach college around 9, and submit the assignment, I could be back by 10 o clock. That way I could save the rest of the day for studying. I just took my wallet, put my project done so prudently in my bag and off I went.  I boarded the almost empty bus and took my favourite window seat. Whenever commuting to and fro, I have crossed the Howrah Bridge, I have always felt so relaxed. The cool breeze from the Hooghly river whispering in my ear always brought tranquillity and peace. The bus had great momentu...

FACE THE MUSIC WITH ME

 Disclaimer: I am participating in  Blogging from A-Z challenge 2022  and this is my sixth post, F # FACE THE MUSIC WITH ME  The incident to which I shall be relating. the series proving how big an idiot I am, took place at the World famous Goddess Karni Temple near Bikaner, Rajasthan. It was during our Autumn 😎 Break. My Parents and we four sisters were on a road trip to Rajasthan's holy places. It was the last stop, almost our journey's end before heading back to Jaipur. Let me brief you before we proceed, that Karni Mata Mandir is also known as the Temple of Rats with approximately 25,000 black and white ones, housed there. We were not expecting them to be dangerous, or scary. To be honest, I had imagined them in their nice warm cages, but no, as we entered, I was in shock. The sudden realisation that in the next 15 to 20 minutes we shall be surrounded by potentially thousands of RATS. We were told to be discrete enough not to step on, not even accidentally on a ...

 A # A friend in need is a friend indeed TO ERR IS HUMAN😇 TO FORGET IT AND STILL MAKE THE SAME 🙄 WELL IS  HUMAN AGAIN 🙂 GRADUALLY MAKING IT AGAIN N' AGAIN 🙄🙄 YOU BECOME A MASTER IN THE GAME 🏆 Some mistakes don't have a noteworthy impact,  but a few change the course of your life.I shall be talking about both, till u feel, thank God you are after all not me. The first big mistake I remember was committed in my 4th standard,  I was 8 years old then and had made my very first best friend. 👭Her name was Kanchan. We had sworn to stand by each other through thick n thin . One day she informed me her telephone ☎️ ( that was the norm in the 80s and 90s ) was out of order and if I could register its complaint. I told her that I was unaware of the process. She gave me a number on which I was supposed to call and directed me on how to go about it . I agreed 👍.  In the afternoon,  I decided to do the needful.  I called up, a man's voice answered,  I t...
