Agitated Sunday.

Honestly, we do not like being annoyed but the world is a bitch and we always tends to be more and more agitated if things do not pan out our way, right? When I have some important work to do, my dog keeps bumping the toy on my keypad or grabs my footwear and starts chewing it, in a hope that I would give him attention. It sounds cute, I know but it frustrates me as what I want is just a little bit more focus while I do whatever I am doing. It is just not about it, even when I have few minutes and I think, "Okay, now I am going to clean my room, make my bed and read a novel for an hour", the doorbell rings or it's either my phone. And, when I don't get that particular free "sunday", I get super annoyed and exhausted. I shout, I scream and then I feel like crying.
                                       
Irritation. I am pretty sure, I am not alone. Here are ways I have decided to cope up with.
  1. Whenever I feel like screaming at my dog, (it's usually him), I'll take a deep breathe, calm down and show him a treat in order to shut him in his crate. It may sound cruel to you, but what is crate-training for after all?
  2. I will try to avoid thinking what people did, or how foolish or selfish they might be acting. I'll let go off all the expectation I have of them and do what I can do best within my own limits and not do what I do not want to. Why force myself in being the "nice" person? Why?
  3. I dislike the person I become when I am annoyed and usually, it's me who is bored and not the other person. I decide to take less load and do what I want to do instead of doing what I am "expected" to. Trying to be nice, I forget what my first priorities are.
  4. If I am irritated with someone, instead of taking it out, I'll count to ten and tell them that I will talk to them later when the time is right. I guess, it will be much better than shouting insults.

These are my thoughts which might help me tackle my irritation levels. Are you annoyed of the world around that often? Let me know your ways. :)

In the Lies

There are a thousand ways we imagine things could conspire to be. Yet when the outcome turns to be the one we didn't want, we begin to break down.  We begin to hate the chances taken. We begin to hate the efforts that we put in. We regret.  Sometimes, it is difficult to say that the fate of our lives is in our hands. That we are the master of our world. Maybe we are not, because we try to do our bests yet we can't achieve. What is the purpose then? We ask ourselves, our friends, maybe the higher power. If things aren't meant to roll out the way we expect, what is the point of working on them?  However, there is a way we manage to survive. It's in the lies that we tell others, maybe ourselves too. The truth about lies is, if we say them enough, we start to believe them  ---  "Does it still hurt?" "No"      And unless someone looks into our eyes, we begin to realize all the lies that we have been telling ourselves and once again shred into pieces. F...

Are they People or Snakes?

We have figured it out wrong. Bustling on the roads, sipping our coffees, Smoking cigarettes, partying on weekends, Spending our money on things that don't matter, Like the new shoes, or Maybe the new Dress, The pretty girl with a fake accent is Busy, busy being anxious about her fashion choices, because well, she got it all figured wrong. Yet, she thinks she knows it all, while hidden insecurities, she believes her fake personality is top-notch. So many people in meaningless gibberish Wishing to stay updated with the world facts, to become so opinionated that they can interact about everything that exists, But what are these opinions for by-the-way, If the people you talk to, don't wish to talk to you anyway? And then, come those who wish to align with the world Fight for their society, or the well-being, Such that they are willing to take laws into their own hands, Use their provoking skills to thrash someone in a  mob, who did maybe a wrong.

Being a Slave to AI?

 Last night I was binge watching Netflix, because I have my accounting exam. Who wants to study that, eh? In the middle of the two idiotic rom-coms, I also saw a documentary "The Social Dilemma".   When you find it on your Netflix feed, by the name itself you shall think, "Oh! It is going to tell us how internet is scary and etc etc.," and you'll continue to scroll the feed to watch something else. Why? Because YOU cannot face the truth, that the SOCIAL PLATFORMS where you want to spend so much time on, are actually owning you? Artificial Intelligence, isn't just about the robots killing people in the future. It is in the NOW. It is running your lives. The people who themselves were a part of the platforms, like Tristan Harris - share the scary impact that social media has on the people around you. For example, take the rumors spread on Corona Virus? You think those people were not manipulated on believing that? No one is that stupid. It's the AI that ma...
