Probably at some point of time in your life, right? Your not the only one!  Many, In fact all of us are filled with thoughts   - THAT WE DON'T EVEN WANT THERE, making our brains noisy- at some point or the other. This incessant chatter that goes on and on is sometime the only thing that we want to break free from, because it feels like a perpetually running chain saw and everything around it is a tree (to cut!) Our minds are formless continuums that perceive and understand objects. It is that element of a person that enables him/her to be aware of the world and their experiences, to think and to feel; it is a faculty of consciousness and thought. Here. thoughts are constantly being created – ideas/plans/opinions/pictures. etc. Every thought, however can be distinguished into tw...

‘Hope’ and ‘Optimism’ are two commonly exchanged words, which literally send out the same meaning, but in reality THEY DON’T! Both these words have carried immense meanings with it, raising many questions like, how should we even measure it, or are optimistic people healthier, does it help when people face terminal illnesses, is hope even under the control of the will, etc.   It is very easy to maintain a hopeful and optimistic attitude; which in turn affects a person’s health, relationships, performances and academics.

Few events in life can be as horrid as the Holocaust.   Millions of Hitler supporters were brainwashed into believing irrational thoughts. Governed with fear, his supporters became merely puppets for Hitler’s rage.   These are some of the detrimental effects of a herd mentality when everyone begins to think or act in a certain way, bowing to societal pressure and you naturally also begin to think and act in the same way. Did Hitler choose to act this way consciously or did he not?  We will never know. However, social psychologists over the years have researched these aspects of human behaviour. Have you ever wondered why you behave in a certain way when alone in a room? Or, maybe, wondered why you behave differently in a social set-up surrounded by friends or people who you didn't even know? You are the same person – but your behaviour DRASTICALLY changes!
