The Cycle Of High's And Lows In General Human Life
|
|
| While in theory it would be nice to be happy all the time, people who seem always happy, or even artifically chirpy tend to get on our nerves after a while. | ||
| Life is cycle in everything we see and experience. Night turns to to day, then night. Rainy days, sunny days and then rain again. Spring, summer, autumn, winter then spring again. Everything is cycle. | ||
| 7.14.1 | The natural Mood cycle of being human | |
| Given that everything else in nature goes through cycles it makes sense then that the human mind affected both by seasons, and its internal physiological cycles also goes through general cycles of higher than average levels of seratonin (general sense of well being) and lower cycles of seratonin. | ||
| This applies both to men and women, even though women have a physical manifestation of a cycle every 26 to 30 days in menstruation. | ||
| 7.14.2 | Intolerance of natural cycles in the modern world | |
| TWhile we may be aware of our own natural cycles of highs and lows, the modern world in which we live is unfortunately intolerant of such cycles and makes little to no concessions. | ||
| Front counter and call center staff are expected to be happy and chirpy every day of work. Professionals are expected to be impartial and non-emotional in the delivery of their respective specialities. | ||
| The world that we have created sets artificial constants which bear no resemblence to most natural cycles. It is no wonder that those unfortunate to have the 1 to 3pm timeslots for meetings in offices frequently find the attendees dozing off- not because of large lunches, nor boring content but because of the natural circadian rythmns of the human body which encourages us to have a brief rest during this period each and every day. | ||
| In the few societies that recognize such natural cycles should be respected, the siesta provides a mechanism to try and keep the body, mind and world in harmony rather than in conflict. | ||
