This is a spin off of the last one. Well I realized that the connection with OCD is way more far fetched in our lives as compared to the that of our older generations. It gave me a reason to write more..
First up, the obsession. Our generation seems to be the most gifted in terms of facilities. The more time passes by, the more easy it gets for us to get our hands on any kind of service, product and information. A click on the phone and an all new world is at our hands. This has also made us all get obsessed... Getting our favourite product, getting others views on our pictures, counting the likes, connecting to someone we really want to, always looking at the phone for an update. It is often an unreasonable idea or emotion but we slowly just give in.
Next, there is always a compulsion for us to do things a particular way, act in a certain style, keep our belongings in a particular fashion. The beginning is just normal but these turn into major abnormalities unseen on the outside and very much prevalent in our brains. It impacts our habits, thoughts and behaviour and the saddest part is that we continue to feel everything we are doing is alright.
I wont elaborate on the disorder part, but would sure urge you to think of it not as a disease but just a condition that can be rectified sooner and more easily than thought possible. You know what the solution is? Accepting change. The one thing that we know but we don't accept.
Whether it is a change brought by a daughter-in-law in the house (in a son) or the change by a new employee, be it a change triggered by someone's actions / thoughts/ ideas or changes in rules introduced by the government. All changes face protests (loudly and silently) We sure can not cover the larger aspects here but personally, it is a sure thing to do.
Why cant we simply let things be? Let us just accept to give up on cleanliness for a day and just enjoy being with a loved one. Can't we just forget about the messed wardrobe and enjoy some alone time. Go on and enjoy your kid playing in the mud, tidy him after he has had a blast. Soak your hands into colours and make something incomprehensible and laugh about it. Some old stuff may give you nostalgia, an embarrassing picture or situation may turn to become a hilarious memory. Why arrange everything perfectly at your home, in your room or at office always? Its ok not be punctual always.
Get out of your comfort zone and try something new once in a couple of months. You would love the experience whatever be the outcome. Experiment with your wardrobe and you'd still stay beautiful/handsome. Indulge yourself into trying new foods and let your taste buds have a ball. Do anything that is just not you and you will have a story to tell your future generations. There is no reason to get hysterical about things if they don't go your way.
And finally, I still recommend living with a few imperfections (like I am)
Cheers!!
God Bless!!
