Learn to handle Chaos with a calm Mind

Do you know how to stay calm when adversary hits at you ? Do you know what sends most people into an Epileptic Shock? The sight of their own blood, gushing out from a severed nerve. They panic and fear promptly steps in to seal their fate.

There was this famous story involving a prominent Scientist and a Jailer. One fine day, the Scientists makes a formal request to a Jailer of City’s most notorious Jail. That he wanted a human specimen, who is sentenced by the Arm of the Law, to be put down by Lethal injection.

The Jailer was very inquisitive about the Scientist’s request and hence entertains a conversation with him, to learn as to why he requires a human specimen.

The Scientists, merely explains to the Jailer that he wanted to find the Power of the human mind over Body. Then continued to learn if there were any Criminals who would be subjected to a Lethal injection shot over the week.

The Jailer, responds that there is a criminal by name Smoky Jack, who has been sentenced to capital punishment and will meet his end over the weekend.

To this, the Scientist, promptly requests, if it was okay with the Jailer, if he could have, Smoky Jack, as a human specimen for his Experiment.

Having agreed, the Jailer then asks the Scientist as to what exactly he would need to complete the Trial.

The Scientist merely says that all he would require would be a glass enclosure which would house the Culprit and all that ought to be done would be to stand out and observe the action inside.

The day arrives when Smoky Jack should be put to death. The glass case was ready and was large enough to house the criminal. Smoky was then brought out of his cell, handcuffed. When he entered the glass casing, he was requested to sit on the chair, to which he was then fastened tightly.

Now as the assembled audience were eagerly looking out as to what the Scientist would do then, immediately at the indication of the Scientist, his assistants, bring in two large wooden boxes, fit enough to pack two humans inside.

The boxes were placed before the criminal, the assistants then were careful enough to remove the top covering of the boxes.

As there were muttering going around amidst the audiences, suddenly, two huge king Cobras creep out from the boxes. They were so big, that each could easy weigh at least 20 kilos.

Fastened Smoky, who was considered the Hardest criminal to handle, who was also a Cop killer, and was involved in several of the Mafia hits, is now seen stuttering with profuse Sweating.

Now, as Smoky was filled with fear, suddenly, one of the snakes, catches Smoky’s vibration, and draws towards him, raising its hood to meet eye to eye with Smoky.

By this time, fear has engulfed Smoky so much that he starts to act erratic and wild, trying with all his might to break free from the fastened chair.

Then suddenly from no where the snake that was looking eye to eye at Smoky, draws back, and with all its might, gives the fatal blow on Smoky’s forehead, and wriggles out.

Smoky foams and then passes out.

The assistants were ordered to capture and secure the snakes, which they did promptly. The Cell doctors were summoned to examine Smoky’s condition, and they pronounced him, dead.

All who were gathered there, left the room with horror and fright. While the Scientist, stood there watching at the glass case. The Jailer approached the spell bound Scientist, and inquires, if all that he had come to experiment was successfully carried out?

The Scientist, replied yes, except for one thing. And what would that, the Jailer prompts, to this the Scientist replies, “How did Smoky die?”

The Jailer laughs and replies, of course, we didn’t give him the Lethal shot, but the snake did. To this, the Scientist, grabs the snake that was responsible for the bite, opens its mouth and pushed his fingers against its fangs, all to the shock of the Jailer.

The snake had no fangs. They were all de-fanged. Meaning, their bites do not have the potency to inflict the Lethal blow, yet Smoky died.

Probable Science behind the incident

The Brain runs the Body. At the very sight of the snake, the brain sends neuro-signals to the Body, telling it of the advancing danger. More so, the brain also warns the body that if in the event of a bite, the body would be in No position to recover from that fatal blow. So, the heart has to shut its action down. This is where, Psychology controls Physiology.

Fear alone is sufficient enough to enslave and keep them in shackles. No wonder, most don’t even want to try and venture out of their comfort zone. They land in a job, get married, raise their Children, and then one fine day, they get a notice from their Employer that due to Company’s policies, they are forced to make job cuts, and all of this is done with a thank you note.

There is just one problem with that, for the past 15 years, you had become so comfortable with your comfort zone that you had never ventured out, never tried a new area to learn, never updated, never read, never developed, in short, you were merely repeating your first year, 14 more times. Where there is no Growth, eventually the outcome is more than too often, predictable.
