Good morning all, doing my 5 minutes free writing with prompt - Dwell on it. Hope you enjoy the story.
One physiological lesson I have come to realize recently from a sharing of friends is the power and effect of dwelling on something repeatedly.
It is effectively a self punishment, the reason being, if we constantly Dwell on it, an unhappy incident that disturbs us, we are reliving the experience and repeating the incident in our mind. Doing so does not make us any happier, in fact, we are allowing ourselves to be hurt again by the same incident, it could be an unintended remark or a mistake by another party.
Definitely, I understand the argument of some personality needs a closing, they dwell on it to get an explanation they derive, something that they can accept to make them feel better.
But in order to be able to feel better, why are we allowing something unpleasant to hurt us again? To make matter worse, the other party likely go about conducting their business and live their lives as per normal, it don't impact them more other than the particular moment when the incident took place.
So, let's all stop dwelling on it and stay happy.
Good short story.
