Urge The Mind To Purge

 

Our brains are computers.

Therefore … Our computers are brains.

In some ways much alike. In other ways not so much.

Often, both fall victim to a ‘Hoarders’ clutter of collective memories.

Virtual stacks of yesterday’s news and tomorrow’s blues.

Easily rectified on our mechanical think tanks with their flatscreen monitors.

A simple “Deleting of the cache” with a simple “defrag of the hard drive” and the run of a good “maintenance program” leaves the hard drive fresh and new.

Something our brains need for us to do.

Like our computers, our mind gets as cluttered, too. Both build dusty stacks of not-so-new news in the shadowed recesses of the mind.

We get so caught up in the whirlwinds of “surving survival” that we completely forget to ‘defrag’ or give a deep scrubbing to our mind’s ‘cache’.

Neglect of maintenance leads to an overload of major negatives that our overworked consciousness subliminally stores in the hope chest of memories once remembered, twice forgot.

You would think that after millennium upon millennium our genetics would have developed an automated system to maintain a healthy mind.

For many of us it has.

That is, any of us who each evening conptiplate the day’s events and what the tomorrow may have in store.

Those of us who do not let our hair get matted in those whirlwinds of surving survival.

Those of us who would prefer to deal with the reality of life’s stresses and distresses, of the ups before the downs and of the good beside the bad.

Those of us who find it to be far better to take a half hour of Evening’s solace and free the clutter deep inside.

For to do nothing or worse still, will cause those “stacks” to topple and spill.

Sending common sense into a swirling furl until all sense explodes like a festering boil.

The mind no matter what intelligence it holds, can only endure so much before it unfolds.

It’s best that for sanity’ sake, you keep the mind alert, awake.

And this a certain guarantee, life will be calm and “Free”.
