Red in tooth and claw

Yesterday I phoned a high school friend and both agreed that we are stepping in a stage where life can be boring if we plan nothing for our personal life. Does this sound familar? Turning on TV for nothing, clicking on online news for something exciting, checking emails to see if there is any "you have got a mail" message, feeling tired all the time, having a blank mind etc. It's a silent suicide.

We leave our brain die unconsciously. We provide less stimuli to the life. Often, a feeling of getting old strikes. The above life style makes one feel "oh I am getting old". Modify the "You are what you eat" phrase and voila, a good cure for the above disease is "You are what you do". Taking a step forward and plan something for life. Some people like the thrill involved in the red in tooth and claw. Some like the peace developed by yoga. Some go to learn a new language or subject to stretch brain power. Some open their mind by going out from their comfort zone e.g., a friend decided to go for acting class. Whoever you are, get something suitable, being stagnant can be a crime!
