Look around you...
Look at the trees dancing to the breeze. Look at that tiny fly looking for a way to escape that strange place you call “home”. Look at the way other people behave, how stressed they are.
Our society moves so fast that we can barely tell what is actually happening around us. Have you noticed how people are alwaying kind of angry? Have you noticed how young people are smiling most of the time? What happens to us during that transition between childhood and adulthood? It’s something called “stress”, you may have heard of it.
Stress does not only affect us personally, but also as a society. As members of a culture, we tend to acquire the personality of everyone around us. If we see everyone angry at something, we may as well feel angry at it even if we don’t know what it is. If we see everyone feeling down, we are going to feel down as well. And so on.This is because groups can develop personalities. Have you noticed?
When you were at school, you always had the “cool boys” group, the “nerd” group, the “annoying girls” group, etcetera. We can raise the scale a little bit so you can understand. The boys from Second B are not as cool as the guys from Second A. Does that sound familiar? I prefer the people from X class, but I also like the people from Y class. Why is it that we talk about the group and not the specific person we actually like? Simple, because large groups have personalities. And this is even more incredible if you think about it at massive scales. “New Yorkers are rude”. “Latin Americans are kind people”. Sentences we often use without actually thinking about them. You are describing millions of peple with just one word. Rude. Kind. This personality is what we actually understand by “culture” and/or “society”. This is why we mention those words when we talk about stress.
Stress is something typical from our culture, the western culture. Where people travel long hours just to get to their jobs or schools. Where subways have to be constructed, so we can move even faster than before. This urban odyssey alone stresses us. And because we see other people stressed, we acquire that stress. And that is why our western culture is seen as place where people live stressed all the time.
Is that stress worth it? Absolutely not!
Can we get away from it? I don’t know. But there’s something that has helped me a lot... Look at your surroundings. Look at everything that moves around you. All living beings have a story to tell, try to figure it out! Use your imagination! Escape from this world to your world. Because there is no better paradise that the one we create ourselves. Our personal paradise. I often imagine the subway as a spaceship traveling at the rythm of the soundtrack from Interstellar. When I’m walking towards my studying place, I look up and imagine myself exploring the universe. That may take me two or three minutes, but it feels way better than two or three minutes of being stressed for my examns. Our imagination is the most precious gift our minds can give us. Use it! Don’t let this monster called stress take you away from enjoying the precious little things about life. You only live once.
