Safe Driving of the Mind
There are aspects of ourselves that make it very difficult to know what we want.
Of course, there are daily appetites, sexual desires, and desires for approval, but I am not talking about those here, so I will leave them out.
What I want to say is not primitive desires, but mysterious desires that we seek because we are human.
For example, suppose a person finds a goal, acts on it, and achieves it.
However, after the accomplishment, after some time has passed, he wonders if it was enough. A meteorite of doubt will fall into the universe of one’s mind.
And anyone can become depressed or negative mind.
Why would we think that?
Perhaps animals do not feel a sense of emptiness about what they have accomplished.
However, due to our brains trying to maintain balance, humans tend to think about everything from many different directions, and while we reflect on the positive, we also reflect on the negative.
This journey of the mind could be called a habit of the individual mind.
So, just as in real life we are at risk of being involved in car accidents and other unforeseen accidents,
one’s own mind needs to drive safely so as not to be involved in unexpected and unforeseen accidents.
In doing so, what kind of accelerator performance and braking habits does your mind have?
Do the gears change gears like an automatic transmission, depending on external stimuli?
Or can it change itself like a manual car?
If we can understand our own habits of mind, we can dramatically increase our emotional safety.
This is because once you know your mental habits, you may be able to avoid places where your state of mind is unstable, such as driving in traffic jams and avoiding frustrating roads, or avoiding intersections where accidents are likely to occur.
In other words, they could avoid communities that destabilize their minds and relationships that might cause them to panic.
Journey of the mind and spirit
Have you ever seen reports of businessmen who became very wealthy and went on “space trips”?
Have you ever been envious when you hear news that actors and celebrities spend their New Year’s in “Hawaii” or “Nice” as if they are competing with each other?
However, as people get older and more settled, they will be more interested in what they felt and discovered at the destination, rather than where they went.
What did I discover? What did I discover?
What happened?
What happened to who here?
I am also interested in the history of the place.
In this way, the places I want to visit are naturally determined from the perspective of “a journey that moves the heart,” rather than physical distance or trends.
Such places are different for each person and involve the way they have lived up to that point.
As we age, the less our bodies move, the more our hearts’ desires may become rather active.
