I think this happens for a variety of reasons.To begin with, at my age — nineteen —we are all very concerned with our physical appearance.We want to be attractive,to have the kind of body image our society values.To that end, we moderate what kinds of foods we eat,how much, and how often;22.and we often overexert ourselves at the gym trying to burn off extra calories.We maintain good habits to keep up good appearance and thereby maintain a good relationship.However, when anyone experiences something as stressful and emotionally draining as a broken heart,he or she tends to disregard healthy habits and takes some pleasure in consuming those formerly forbidden foods.Of course, it is all a vicious circle.We lose our boyfriends,we become depressed,we eat, we gain weight (which, in turn, depresses us),we struggle to regain our self-respect, we enter into another relationship, and the cycle goes on.
Food is not the only recourse for a sad lover.One friend of mine soothes her broken heart by going shopping —buying new clothes and new shoes, maybe a piece of jewelry —to make herself feel better.Whether it’s food or shopping,self-indulgence is often good medicine for the blues,if it is not carried to excess.The worst response is turning to alcohol or drugs.
The past aristocracies invented a lot of activities to make fun out of boredom,however, the problem of dealing with boredom may be even more difficult for such a future mass society than it was for aristocracies.The latter, for example, ritualized their time;there was a season to shoot grouse,a season to spend in town, a season to hold a lot of parties, etc.The masses are more likely to replace an unchanging ritual by fashion which it will be in the economic interest of certain people to change as often as possible.Again, the masses cannot go in for hunting,for very soon there would be no animals left to hunt.
For other aristocratic amusements like gambling, dueling, and warfare,it may be only too easy to find equivalents in dangerous driving,drug-taking, and senseless acts of violence.Workers seldom commit acts of violence,because they can put their aggression into their work,be it physical like the work of a smith,or mental like the work of a scientist or an artist.The role of aggression in mental work is aptly expressed by the phrase “getting one’s teeth into a problem”.
One goose, two geese.So one moose, two meese?Doesn’t it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend,that you comb through annals of history but not a single annal?If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them,what do you call it?Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylumfor the verbally insane.In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?Ship by truck and send cargo by ship?Have noses that run and feet that smell?
Park on driveways and drive on parkways?How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,while a wise man and wise guy are opposite?How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell another?English was invented by people, not computers,and it reflects the creativity of the human race.That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible,but when the lights are out, they are invisible.And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it,but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
