I had too much time to think about all this.
The phrasing, though... When I think about such broad questions, I somehow automatically switch to the "Golem" style from Lem's eponymous work.
AiyaAfter reading, you realize that you have it more or less spread out on the shelves.
I wish I were confident about that.
AiyaThese are two separate questions) not related)
That's good!However, that doesn't change the answer :)
If something becomes a burden too often, there's nothing wrong with taking a break from it.
And if that something is not valuable enough to rest from, there's nothing to fear.
The world is full of things that, properly speaking, are worth fearing.
But we can allow ourselves to take a break from these things... for now.
(and if there's nowhere to escape from this something - is there any point in fearing it, if you can try to change it—or yourself? Inaction is a road to nowhere)
AiyaBut fear, or rather phobia, seriously hinders life, as it's a highly energy-consuming process)
Exactly.Moreover, you, I think, have precisely captured the meaning that I would have put into these same words.
But this effect has, first of all, quite specific reasons, and secondly, there will surely be a couple of useful properties that would be good to learn to use.
This can be worked on to increase the efficiency coefficient of this phenomenon... So far, no one has died from burning a few extra calories due to a significantly accelerated metabolism (provided the rest of the body's parameters are in order).
What can truly be harmful in the case of a phobia is the fact that (if it's not cheap posing but a real phobia) under its influence a person's "social mask" completely falls off.
Which then you still have to live with the consequences, if in a state of affect the person has done something.
At first I panicked about this. Until I realized that such incidents are an opportunity to consider what my subconscious wants and how to reconcile its goals with the conscious mind's goals.
The subconscious, in general, is a rather reticent interlocutor.
And each such case is an excellent reason to listen to it...
