The brain and benefits. The topic of the brain is too hyped and cliched. Too much is said, too much is inferred. It's too powerful a manipulator. Too clever and too self-serving. He doesn't discount, he's impossible to negotiate with. You think what you think... no! Everything is decided by him and cleverly planted you: "yes, it was you who thought of it. You're doing great. It's all right."
Is it right... Definitely beneficial! Any action, decision or inaction is done solely on the basis of benefits. Benefits in the moment. The thing is, we don't know the future. And your brain tells you that if you do this now, you'll get your piece of happiness in the future. You probably will... but probably not. But he's got it now!
It's profitable to not even enjoy it. It's profitable to miss a chance. It's profitable to suffer, cry, and give gifts. Many of the benefits are expressed as investments that need to be paid back... and more likely, with interest.
You can take a break from your brain and benefits. Nature is a lifeline. Mountains, seas, lakes and #reka. With nature you can be frank. You certainly don't share profits and costs. And she doesn't care what you're wearing, how many wrinkles you have, or your weight. Let go and forget conventions... If you choose nature, she will choose you. This is how it works with life: as you treat life, so it treats you.
Letting go of conventions, circumstances, formalities and so on, you can choose a person. The person will definitely choose you, realizing the value of your choice. "If only that were true of everything...." - you say. "#StartYourself," I'll say.
