more pretentious shit again

We become so bitter as we get older

So desperately in need of love

Yet so reluctant to give it

Experience adds understanding

But along with it comes doubt

Tiptoeing hesitantly in indecisiveness

Losing the purity from the past

As pressure pushes us to pursue prospective paths

So much confusion passed off as being lost

Victimizing ourselves to feel better

Not coming to face the core of the sore

Everyday, looking for answers, blindfolded

Searching for more in pure feeling

The mind desperately trying to find sense

Making shapes out of the shapeless

departure

Maybe its meant to be The passing of time Seems to let us free Makes us more carefree Farewell to a friend Hoping for the best That in some other world This journey won't end But long paved roads Take hours to walk down A dragging trip Complacence is found If we can refresh The origin of our motives Healthy company In each other, we'll notice.

Is there an emotional brain? (arguments against)

The limbic system has been commonly referred to in scientific literature as the emotional brain. But we know now with more information and advanced technologies that the limbic system is an ambiguous concept, it is what LeDoux says is just a “useful anatomical shorthand”. One evidence that challenges this theory is that areas that are considered unique to mammals (therefore termed the “mammalian brain”) is also present in ‘primitive’ creatures such as reptiles and amphibians. For example, a study conducted by Gilles Laurent and colleagues in 2018 using single cell RNA-sequencing technology showed that the neurons of the pallium of reptiles had similar genetic makeup to that of the hippocampus and amygdala of mouse and humans! These areas are what MacLean included in the limbic system theory, yet they are present in these ‘lower’ animals. Moreover, the same study showed that the anterior dorsal cortex of the pallium in reptiles was similar to the human neocortex, which is a layer ...

no holidays

i used to think of holidays as this getaway period of time when the world would let me take a break from everything. But really, its never like that. We never really get away from it. This can’t be taken purely negatively or positively. It’s just the reality. We can take our breaks and let our bodies rest, but the things in life never really stop. Perhaps creating a daily ritual and habit, a consistency in activity, that doesn’t require escape is the most ideal option. Life does not purely consist of the programs that external influences put on us. They’re merely there to keep us on track. So even on ‘holiday times’, its important to keep a steady pace and rhythmicity to what you are doing, every day aligning with your goals. Do not let the world command when your break is. You decide that for yourself. Ofcourse you can have vacations, and days off when you reset and rethink about the core of what it is that you are doing. But these mo...
