The Self-blinded Stimuli by philoedu(m): 1:13pm On May 18, 2023
The self-blinded stimuli are that feature of invention and exploration of any childhood in this context, which is usually trivial and of ephemeral in nature, although ipso facto not taken seriously. However, the process often involves the sense of wonder and curiosity and the very urge to seek and find that which must not be left to fade into oblivion. With the passage of time, the act is confined and made to remain as a dominant mature process of the stimulus struggle.

This mature process of the stimulus struggle often tends to overshadow the less rewarding alternative in any sane environment through which some important battle come to be fought and sometimes worn in the process or even lost but of the like of creativity. It must also be emphasized, that there is often the tendency of shortsightedness in the adult exploratory behavior that often times may come to be responsible for what one may call the measure of the level of insecurity and in the supposedly peaceful environment. Unfortunately, human being, in their rational overdoes is remarkably very smart in blinding themselves to the obvious, in particular for those things that are particularly unappealing.

In reality, it is not an overstatement to affirm here, that it is this self-blinding and if you like, the passive attitude which is mostly prevalent and in dominance, that could conceal some of the vital truth of this fact. The same is true, the passive attitude that becomes what is responsible for the contingent ambiguities in most environment in its escalation into a bigger picture as it defies comprehension and the very understanding of the true nature of things.

The tragedy, is often that even when there is collaborative effort of some kind to arrest some of this contingent problem, through the return to the average and simple life style. For instance, as to enable one to contrive and detain any means of the highly activated brains towards this direction, no doubt, there still will always remain the tendency of which certain individual will still remain vulnerable in their environment.
In addition, even if, condemn into a complex social system, which often seems to be the case, the trick might still be to ensure that we make the ult-most use of what is available rather choosing to remain passive to allow it to make use of us as it turns into environmental problem. In an attempt to pursue adequately the act of stimulus struggle, it is important to note that it is instructive to observed and select the most rewarding method of approach to derive the benefit of such process.

It must be observed, however, that the principle of balance cannot be underestimated that required a persistent focused and regulation for which we are biologically equipped. It is true, failure to do so, could manifest the tendency through which we unleash more than we are biologically equipped to cope with, of cause, history has always been emphatic about this . And make no mistake about this that the current magnificent social development with all its complexity is not without some seed of abuse, a derivative of passive attitude that left much to be desire. In the principle of stimulus struggle, the phenomenon prevalent and not adequately observed is the individual psychology involved and the pathological impact embedded in the introvert and extrovert individual that must be closely watched. It also has to do with the type of environment that sometimes we find ourselves that could be superficially and inadequately stimulating aware of it or not .

A close study also reveals that although, an individual maybe surrounded by an exciting stimulus, nonetheless, there can still be moment, in which such individual may come to be deeply immersed into his own reality and get cut up in an un pleasant circumstances. In such a way that in an instant from the very environment one found himself, an abnormal pathological and subjective condition could get one off balance. But this is psychology of which one can find himself in conscious and unconscious state of mind, and even sometimes, in a borderline situation that often come to play its role whether we aware of it or not.

It could further be observed that the tendency to be in a state of psychological starvation in the mixed of plenty, often come to reveal itself. And it does it without any cogent reason such that one can happen to manifest anti-social behavior and, in the process, becomes intensely unable to partake in any interactive session of any kind and indeed with the external world. But it is simply an indication of an acute under stimulation of phenomenon of stampo-physiological state that is always beyond our immediate control. And make no mistake, a bunch of individuals are often a potential victim of this phenomenon, although inexplicable in clear term. However, the most appropriate reaction towards such potential victims is but sympathy, instead of cold intolerance.

It must be emphasized, that in our day to day activities in virtually everything we do, is often come to depend so much on the level of the stimulus struggle, whether we aware of it or not. It sometimes can also produce the shock effect of some sudden novelty as we strive to contend with our daily individual realities. It is due to this singular reason, that sometimes with close observation, what seems daring in one moment often becomes ordinary in the next moment and even stultifying at some other moment as to even make one to forget where and when it all started. The same is true that in the process, any shock is quickly overcome as new round of style is quickly absolved, and as another stimulus is required for its replacement.

This scenario is often witnessed in the world of fashion, in whatever one may think is the daring innovation in this field, that often becomes tomorrow’s respectable asset. And this rapidly fossilized into what one might called a pompous formality as new rebellion crews emerge for a replacement as it tends to take place virtually in every department of life. It is obvious that some of these over stimulations do occur from time to time and it sometimes also put us even in an intense restlessness and bored state. When it happens, make no mistake about this, it is by no means accidental, rather, than stressed caused by gross under-stimulation which is basically equal and opposite, as we come to commit Newton’s third Law of motion into memory, hence, it is the same as stress of over-stimulation, caused by the stimulus struggle.


Therefore, both extreme are always unpleasant state to contend with, because, such state of mind can result to stereotype response, as we strive in the process to escape back into the comfort and balance zone just to moderate the stimulation which is objective in its own right. Some of us, however, often think that it is better to cast an envious backward glance at some simple life style of the past with the wish that it could have been maintained. But the reality is that any serious attempt made in this direction may prove inaction, of which much as one may tends to manifest some kind of sympathy with such reflective undertaking, there is, no doubt, that it has its shortcoming that may eventually condition an expectation with high level of mental activities.

It is this same irrefutable compelling spirit of the stimulus struggle that made Erasmus, we are told, to read in the moonlight, just because he could not afford even a torch or candle and had to beg for a penny, not for the love of charity, but for the love of learning to acquiring knowledge as to balance this element of the stimulus struggle.
