Function- The Mind Training
The function is something in which something goes in, gets processed, gets changed or not, and then a product is returned mathematically but also biologically and psychologically. The interesting thing is it works everywhere. The Human mind is also one of the great examples. We know this process begins by birth itself. Information in various forms of data enters our minds through different media and environments. It depends completely on what type of environment the person lives in, and by processing the data the human performs its development. The mind of living beings is one of the greatest creations in this world by nature I believe. But along with that nature has provided strength and weakness to this mind ie it can be trained. Every living being of this earth keeps training itself in the journey of its life. Now thinking of the environment, it will be of different kinds in every person's life, everyone's situation is quite different but due to some commonness in society, it is found to be similar in some cases. Therefore, when we sometimes talk to our friends, classmates we find similarities in our situations, and then by regular meetings the bonding gets stronger after some time (say years) a point comes we find some changes in them because of the experience gained in the new type of lifestyles since mind works like function. If we raise the question about the type of environment and quality, it becomes tougher to determine it and if we keep on thinking with each side. An environment quality is good or bad cannot be easily determined unless a human analyzes it with his/her view. A person who loves the place with more gathering then he/she will be more comfortable in it, whereas one who likes pin-drop silence don't stay in such place for a longer time and gets stressed quickly. But we know the human brain can be trained, so any human can be trained by himself/herself to adapt to the environment. You also have other options like move away from the environment since you might not afford that by value or by time. I suggest if you found that you are getting smarter than others in your environment, then that's the time you will have to move towards a more challenging environment/condition instead of being overconfident, it will keep you progressive. Having a bad environment depends on human how he/she identifies the condition. One event from the life of Vishnugupta Chanakya, the great teacher in history during his struggling with life with his student Chandragupta, they found out that there was a village where (1)people used to believe that if they send their children as a sacrifice to the cave and it will result in their favor (2)The soldiers which hit people, disturb peoples life they consider them revered lord. By analyzing this situation the Chanakya said "When you live with the evil for a long time, then you cease evil as evil. Considering the need for this evil, the human mind starts thinking that this evil may actually be for his/her good" It can be elaborated as a pessimist sees every opportunity as a difficulty and an optimist sees an opportunity in every hardship. All the opportunities of luck, our soul may be in a strong state, you just have to test the right time" Now in today's world (even in this pandemic) the environment to a maximum of the humans are exposed is the Internet (especially the social media). So how we will compare this media for the good or bad of an individual.Let's take the example of YouTube. Previously, YouTube was popular but now it's very very popular. I will say it was and is a good source of knowledge. But as the Reliance JIO revolutionized the Indian Internet market, literally everyone got a smartphone in his hand and now even in the hands of school-going children. Nearly all the humans of this world are connected by the internet. But now if you try to analyze the different types of content available on YouTube you will find that some of the content is really appreciable and the other is designed only to acquire the views.You can check out the Slayy-Point Channel where Abhudaya and Gautami are doing really great work in a different way to make people realize what quality of content is being viral on the internet unnecessarily. Now if you are using YouTube on different devices you can observe a different bit. On mobile devices, the interface of YouTube is different looks somewhat like apps (The swipe videos feature is added). But whereas on computer devices you will still find out YouTube as earlier it was. What basically I want to say people are getting the habit of swiping the vertical videos so that people should be trapped in a loop. The coming technologies are designing social media in such a way that it will show human what he wants but not what he doesn't want to. This is not good for the mind, every person needs to be a good analyzer, 'stop being monitored' and 'stop being just a monitor'.
The heads and tails of a coin both need to look out you cannot believe only one side. Again we know very well the human mind can be trained. Being silent is not the solution, shouting against stupidity is the good solution.
