Mess of Our Minds, Foods, Desire, Fear, and Joy

Abstract: Our entities demand different outcomes at the same time. When different neighbors in our brains want to have something else during a same period, there could be confusion in our thoughts and feelings. We want to eat, kiss, run away, but experience at the same time period. It may burden our brains without stable information flow about what to do. This essay explains two main mechanisms of the messy moments happening in our minds. One is the multi-celular mechanism in our brains which derives different functioning at the same time period. Second is memorizing and learning mechanism of our neurons which strengthening the all behaviors and sub-behaviors as an instinctive characteristic. As a result, it is a normal act that we want to taste what we have in front and run away from, leave it behind instinctevely.

Our brains processes lots of function at the same period. This is about the tendency and the behavioral features of our different specialized cells and their different parts such as axons or dendrites (it is evolutionary). Different neurons in our brains communicate with each other and produce logistic pathways through whole brain, thus, the request of these different cells (with the help and movement of different neurochemicals) reach out each other and their demands and features find a chance to be actualized (comes through the life as an output). We see, hear and focus on during the same period, we can talk move our hands or desire to eat in this period as well.

These individual neurons/cells or group of neurons are essential to consider for the understanding of orchestration of our desires, feelings and behaviors. And it can also help to comprehend our conflicts, colliding desires. It brings a strong explanation why there is not a linear flow in our lives that manages what will happen in a more restricted fiction.

We know thus far that our different neurons/cells specialized for different functions provide different features (desires or actions) and outputs to us by bringing their own skills and composing neighborhood relations. As a result, we do lots of things through the same period. It is likely to say that there is somehow a hierarchical construction in it. But the orchestration or hierarchical order may sometimes be damaged and problems can come out.

There is also an interesting theory about how we act with the neurons. This theory says that how we tend to behave is nearly related to what we learn, and what we learn is nearly related to how our instincts are structured. It may seem a bit confusing. But it means that: What we strongly learn and keep our minds during our life periods are intensely connected to the instinctive cellular mechanisms that developed and continue to developing for hundred thousand of years. Singular cells are prone to have different molecules, chemicals into themselves. It lasts in more complex cellular mechanisms as an evolutionary movemental pattern. It also continues with our fertilized cell, passes through our other cells such as neurons. It likely occurs in that way: We tend to eat, and then what we learn about eating with its all sides, is akin to the tendency of eating itself. Think that we instinctively know how to eat and we do this all the time. However, how we interact with an egg is also learned by this direction. We learn how to keep the egg or cook, like we know how to eat itself.

The reason I tell all about these is why our all tendencies are complex, similar and intertwined with each other. And since this complex system processes lots of sub conditions during a same period, and the behaviors are intensively structured and learned because of longitudinal evolutionary mechanisms, chaotic progressing and messy feelings and demands are inevitable results for our understanding and experiencing.

We build lots of behaviors, habits and tendencies during our life period that are related to each other. Our brains are always prone to eat, desire, having joy. In contrast, our information collection we stored in our memories during our life time tells us avoiding from these tendencies at some moments to survive. For example, we desire to taste a kiss in a moment. At the same moment, another instinctively structured saying from our brains comes and say “no, mother warned me about it, it is dangerous”. Since central brain mechanisms work together, and tie the all knowledge such as conflicted knowledge, different information signalling bombards conscious level of our minds and makes us think that what the hell is this. This is a natural process of our brains, it does not have to require a concern necessarily (except some more serious, intensive conditions). We may label sometimes a food as valuable as sex, and a rule as real as a desire. The important point is to find out which is better for our well-being.
