Radio Silence
Do you know that when the human body is confronted with intense physical pain, the brain as a form of self defence to prevent madness, slows down the blood going to the brain? This temporary decrease in blood flow to the brain causes it to shut down and the person is said to have fainted? Interesting.
But what's more interesting is that fact that every one of you reading this post right now has employed this form of defence mechanism at a given point in your life.
True? False? Let's see.
Have you ever blocked or muted that pesky and nonsense fellow on WhatsApp or IG? Or gone radio silent on that family member that likes to get all up in your business? You know that one that will ask you when you will marry? This year or next year? Sometime or never?
Have you ever gone the extra mile to not walk the same lane with those world people that feel they are more righteous than Jesus the Christ? Do you mentally go deaf the instant some people start speaking? Me, I have done all that and even extra. In fact, I have advanced degrees in all that.
If you are also in this shoe, I have good news;
1. You aren't alone
2. You are doing the absolute right thing. It's scientific actually. Humans, like Computers build firewalls to manage frustrating, difficult and painful situations and experiences.
So next time someone tries to disrupt your inner peace, just find your space and faint. You know what I mean...
Next time a situation gets so emotionally tasking it feels like your heart wants to break, go radio silent.
