Our lives are hierarchical in all sense this is because we are surrounded by people who wants us to meet a certain deadline or expectations and we in turn have people who we want them to meet a certain deadline or expectations and this forms a cyclical process of a sort and becomes what we deem to be movement, progress or even growth. Sometimes our mind works faster than our bodies this is because the mind is intangibly superfluous, it is limitless it has no physicality or a certain kind of limitation to it, it possesses the ability to express beyond boundaries and everything it expresses is what our bodies will try to achieve, bring to reality or even accomplish. If we fail to find an equilibrium between our bodies and mind then there will be a certain kind of disparity which can be bad.
In the society where I come from, it's all about the speed. So many people are functioning on the speed of their mind rather than taking cognizance of the limitations that comes with their bodies and this is why you have so many people taking drugs to be able to perform to the expectations of their mind. People differs and not everyone have the capabilities to be able to withstand mental stress. Mental stress comes when we attend a certain kind of physical tiredness and it seems as if there is too much on our plate for us to process, this makes anxiety to set in, there is a certain inability to trust ourselves to deliver when it matters the most. And this is when we need to realise that we are mentally stressed and overburdened.
Sometimes I feel we humans do not really take time to consider the psychological state of the mind of our fellow humans. In as much as people looks physically healthy what they must be going through mentally might even kill them more faster than a common cold would. When people feel they can't handle the excesses of life anymore that is when they begin to think of suicide or other means of permanent escape which will save them from the torture and shame of being called a failure. Nowadays in our various human societies, we are quick to call people failures simply because they did not meet up to a standard that is set by human norms and regulations. rather than give them a break, a nudge in the back We do not give them chances to take up their lives and be better, instead we pressure them into becoming better and this phenomenon is what damages people forever.
It is imperative we understand that various people needs to individually find their strength inasmuch as they reckon with their weaknesses. and that is why in every position we find ourselves in life either we are the one being expected from or we are the one holding the expectations we need to understand that we always need a pause, or all people that opportunity to pause, take a breather to find strength in the midst of many life threatening stress. Life isn't just about achieving milestones, achieving goals or even hitting deadlines, because while we might be carried away with by all these it makes us too shallow or too unaware, ignorant as to how precious our lives might be until we get to the verge of nearly losing it. In essence we do not work on batteries and that is why we need to resuscitate ourselves to recharge and come back better but then sometimes life becomes a rat race of chasing wealth and making money.
In conclusion, we often feel the inclinations that we can actually do better than you are currently doing now while this can be true it can also be false and in a mad frenzy of driving ourselves to our elasticity limit we might lose ourselves trying to find thing that might be beyond our reach. Life is a cyclical process but then it needs us to be 100% mentally capable and psychologically fit to take on challenges that comes our ways. The world is currently being ravaged by the shock caused by the effect of covid-19. people are getting retrenched from their working place, a lot of other people are losing their jobs and then some other people are making profits while others are becoming richer at the expense of others, this is a proof of how imbalanced life can be. But then we do not need to keep it this way. We need to be thoughtful and considerate of our fellow human beings in as much as we are going to be thoughtful of protecting ourselves it's imperative we protect other people in order to keep a sane and healthy human society
