The distorted ergonomy

The distorted ergonomy
As "Jean Jacques Rousseau says- we are born free but are always in chains.
The anomalous us are in constant conflict with our comfort zone.
Quite contradictory to normalcy, we often find melancholy heartening.
Maybe because dismal thoughts have rented a place in our mind for far too long.
In our aggressive and obvious attempt to be peerless, we reject functional comfort.
The rebellious streak overpowers all discipline and norms.
And we somehow get attracted to tangible stuff we are supposed to deprive ourselves of.
We unknowingly expropriate the blessings bestowed too.
For some obscure reason, we alter our former self and denude ourselves of our very own distinguishing characteristics.
We indulge in self deception by rationalizing our conduct, disguising our real self.
The circus of these thoughts start to plague us.
And we start stretching our bonds beyond expiry date.
Our relationships after a point start to resemble an empty can of a shampoo bottle which can only function after adding few droplets of water.
But alas! It has lost it's sheen.
We are afraid to discard coherence even after they start to resemble our old pair of comfortable but worn out jeans.
How about heeding the advice of philosopher, Zeno of Citium, who says that, "we are emotionally weak if we allow ourselves to be".
Let us embrace the theory of epicureanism which says, "avoid depression at any cost".
Let us be the unmoved mover.
As preached by, Rene Descautes, let dualism exist wherein mind has power over body.
Before life leaves us with life altering symptoms,
Let's redefine the distorted/deformed rules of ergonomy.
