Yes, Everyone Is Tensed

Why each and everyone is tensed and stressed? It seems tension is so contagious a disease. Yes, it is a disease. If it is not physical, it is of course a mental disease. The shrinks says this and we feel it. It is so absorbing that you cannot shake of it so easily if you want. How can a disease so easily be shaken off if it is not properly cured. One thing is almost certain that our physical body and spiritual mind are always in intimate connexion with each other. One cannot exist without the support of other. When one is affected, the other too cries out for due attention and help. Admittedly so and each one of us has to experience this through our whole span of life. And we have to live with it.

But mental illness is something different from physical illness. Generally physical illness grows out of the worm cans of our environment around us. And we can very easily exterminate the germs and we get cured after that. But the case of mental illness like, stress, depression are born out of the social vices, the seven deadly sins. The thing is that we are all carriers of these deadly sins and the society has retained them all as it seems that they are the basis of social organisation. As if the society has no virtues of itself on which it could be betterly organised. Had it been organised on virtues or mostly on virtues, the society would have been a heaven of itself and we would have been endowed with heavenly bliss.

But as if there is no safety-valve to get hold of this modern man's dilemma.

Why there is no safety-valve or safety-catch to control one's tension. Everybody has been suffering from it and no one is from its aggressive potency. When I am under tension or I am tensed, you readily tell me to calm down. And again, when you suffer from tension you too tell me the same thing and advise me the same way. This we try to mutually cure ourselves. But still there is no respite for us. Tension is modern man's obstinate disease. As though, it has come to stay with us life long. When we die, only at that time it will go once for all. So what to do? How to get out of it? There is no easy remedy. Rather let us learn to stay with it, live with it amicably. Do not rush. It will be all in vain.Rather take it easy and keep cool. And do whatever you feel like doing.

When you are a modern man, you have to make do with this modern man's intimate malady. There is no other go. You cannot get away with it so easily.
