Antidotes?

Posted by Abstraction Personified

If life was short of antidotes, the human race wouldn't have evolved and been as happy and revolutionary as it is. A human mind is in a constant phase of restless dynamics. It functions the best in the toughest of times.

When the times are tough, and the life is taking its toll on people, only then is a ray of light treasured. A single ray of light, which goes unnoticed during the day is the antidote to darkness.

When a human mind faces restless dynamics, A single, tiny - little happiness can drive away the restlessness and turn the mind and soul into centers of peace. The antidote to restlessness is happiness which leads to a peaceful mind. Thus, channelizing the energies of the body and soul into a productive business.

However, they say peace is only a phase that comes between two wars. It would lose its meaning if the war, in this case restlessness, ceases to exist.

A problem is a problem till the time it is not considered one, once it is considered, it no longer remains a problem. The solution eventually follows up. Hence, restlessness does not remain a problem.

But then, why does the human soul strive to achieve peace? Peace of mind, peace of body, peace of soul? The most logical answer to this is that restlessness is just like an ocean - tiny droplets of water flowing together but losing their own value. These very water droplets, are a treasure when they rain down on a desert.

This makes me wonder what is this restlessness actually? What is it composed of, like an ocean would be composed to water droplets? The ocean has the power to engulf gigantic ships and cruises, cover thousands of miles and smash against the rocks as if the anger and wrath of God is being unleashed. What power does this restlessness have in it?

Probably restlessness is just an ocean of thoughts. An ocean of negative thoughts. A reservoir of negative energies. Then what would be the antidote to it? Happiness can be a temporary solution which restricts the problem but does not completely solve it. In that case, what would be the actual solution? They say, energy is interchangable. It can be changed from one form to another but the question remains, how? How to change a whole reservoir of negative energy, negative emotions, negative thoughts into positive ones?
