TOO EXCITED

TOO EXCITED

When the very first man felt his very first love towards the very first woman, he got so very excited that he started climbing trees and biting fruits. The next thing he knew he was biting the wrong fruit and for that, he was punished and was driven out of paradise. Since then he never learned his lesson that it is not good to be very excited about anything.

Excitement gives rise to increase heart rate, a little rise in blood pressure, heightened interest, all in preparation for the achievement of what one is excited about. More often than not this excitement results to confusions and wrong decisions that lead to more confusions but the excitement goes on.

Look at what happens when a ship sinks for whatever reason. Excitement fills the air. Everybody is caught flatfooted but still everybody is excited either to help or to point fingers at each others. As a result everyone gets so confused on what is the right thing to do and the problem multiplies and gets bigger and bigger.

With so many big problems sprouting left and right, legal counsels get excited too. Lawyers appear from every corner expressing out their intelligent opinions – and we all know what happens when lawyers begin explaining the laws. It will be an endless exchange of views leading to more and more confusions. Meantime the ship keeps on sinking and the passengers who were suffocated and drowned inside have only their invisible and inaudible ghosts to communicate to their relatives and love ones through dreams or whatever esoteric way there is.

Back to the first man, if he only kept calm and simply followed the rule which that time was only one, he need not climb that tree and bite that fruit. He and us, his descendants should have been enjoying life in paradise. Now, it is far too late not to be excited but there is still time to learn a lesson or two.
