Facing the world without a buffer

• Heated up – angry – when the world does not meet with your expectations.
• You get shocks when calamities strike.
• You get deviated, distracted, distorted with the various magnetic influences that play on you like sense indulgence, relationships and partisan thinking.

• As it is you have a weakness for the senses. Now sense objects have been refined, developed, heightened, advertised and marketed such that you have no choice but to succumb to their lure.
• Earlier when you had to travel the only means of communication was snail mail which in some cases took up to three weeks to reach. Phone calls were a luxury you allowed yourself only once a month. So even though you were miserable in the beginning and missed home the mind got a chance to settle down and adjust to the new environment. Now e mail, chats, and gadgets like the web cam prolong the misery. The mind is never allowed to overcome the pangs of separation. You linger in the sorrow. The wound does not heal. You become a torn entity with the body in one place and the mind in another!
• The intellect is swamped with so much information that it gets confused and bewildered. For every decision there are so many options to choose from that the intellect breaks down.
