Humans are born with an innate understanding of right and wrong.
Abusing children is bad. Treating the elderly kindly is good.
Humans are born knowing what is good and what is evil.
However, people use good and evil differently depending on the situation.
This is the root of "mental problems."
No one is 100% honest.
This time I would like to explore the topic of "balance" which is the root of such mental problems as judging right from wrong and inner conflict.
*Currently, it is believed that dementia is caused by both mental problems and a decline in organ function.
My maternal grandmother suffered from Alzheimer's disease and lost the ability to recognize people or understand the order of things, and she became silent.
This is a common symptom of Alzheimer's disease caused by a decline in function of the medial prefrontal cortex, which controls speech, judgment, and planning.
The onset of the disease occurred in her late 70s, and it is believed that the loss of her emotional balance was triggered by the deaths of her sister and husband, who were her main sources of support, which led to the onset of the disease.
Although his internal organ function had declined due to aging, his doctor did not prescribe any medication.
I have heard that my grandmother was devoted to her husband, mother-in-law, children, and siblings. I never saw her assertive in any way. I still remember her as a modest person who embodied the virtue of humility.
But what did my grandmother like? What was she interested in? What were her inner conflicts?
Although I was not able to understand my grandmother's intentions or wishes during my childhood, I have almost no memories of it.
Now, when I think about it, my grandmother dedicated her life to her family and left major decisions to them.
When viewed as a mental problem, this can also be seen as dependence. Not expressing one's opinion means that one has neglected or has not made the effort to express oneself.
It's not a question of good or bad, it's a question of mental balance.
"Self-interest" and "altruism"
My grandmother lived a selfless life. However, when she lost her support, she lost her foundation. Her heart also greatly supported the times. It could be said that it was such an era.
However, there is no need to ask again that the modern world is complicated and troublesome.
Despite the pressure to conform, people are held accountable for their own actions, and while they know that they are being manipulated to make it easier for others to connect with their opinions, they go along with them while knowing that they are being manipulated, and a climate of division and ignorance of other opinions is being consciously and unconsciously built.
Judgment and execution
Emotions such as interest, curiosity, responsibility, and acceptance form the foundation of memory, and through various experiences, these are stored in the brain as a wealth of information for future decision-making.
Judgment is the process of comparing the good and bad episodes gained from experience with what is happening in the present, paying attention to them, selecting them, and sustaining them. Then, we experience what is graspable (understandable) and manageable (able), perceive it as meaningful, and then execution is born.
This is judgement and execution.
Create a simultaneous equation of your interests and concerns x your sense of responsibility and acceptance from your family and society, find a vision that will answer it, and factorize that answer. Then, build a new equation.
As this cycle repeats, you yourself will make mistakes, fail, and experience pain.
This will be updated to the ability to know and be considerate of others and the background of various matters.
Failing and knowing the pain leads to imagining the pain of others.
"Sensitivity"
What is Mental Balance?
The flexibility of thinking to avoid leaning to either bias. The flexibility to understand opposites.
In order to maintain the correct mental stance, it is necessary to experience not only success but also failure.
Life can be harsh or generous.
First, find what you like, then solve simultaneous equations and factorize. Then, do it over and over again.
Neither efficient nor rational
This is the only way to solve the "problems of the heart."
While failing
Let's make the answer you came up with the correct one
It is said that parallel lines also intersect on a sphere.
It is possible to understand people who are polar opposites on Earth!
Parallel worlds meet in harmony. Peace.
