Have you ever experienced a situation wherein you are
incapable of adding any word into your paper? I was.
Have you ever spent a night—or two—sitting
in front of your computer, watching the words in your final paper dancing as if
they were mocking at you? While in other situation, you can write
twenty-page-long story in hours? I was.
This is not about the capability or incapability of
expressing thoughts, my friends; this is about loving or hating something—in this
case, a subject.
This semester, when I read some research and articles on
brain—for my presentation—I got bored reading the facts about left hemisphere
of the brain, so without any serious purposes, I leisurely clicked on other articles about the right
hemisphere of the brain. That day, I found out that there is somewhere in our
brain that affects our feeling and impression on everything.
Okay, I know this things about left and right hemisphere of
the brain may baffle you, friends. So let’s make it simpler.
Due to the lateralization, our brain is divided into two hemispheres, in our right hemisphere, there is a hormone called Dopamine—the
generic term is the Pleasure Center. This Dopamine controls our impression on
everything. Science, moreover, has proven that the brain of someone who is in
love is similar with the one of the drug users, and this thing is because of
the Dopamine.
When we love something—or someone—our brain will release
the Dopamine that makes everything pleasurable. When we hate something—like some
particular subjects—it happens conversely, that is the condition in which we
are nagging, crying, sighing, or even cursing on the things we hate, and we
cannot do or have.
It happened to me on previous semesters when I hate a subject,
the universe seems to make everything related to that subject frustrating.
In this semester, however, I love—or trying to love—all the
subjects I take. For that reason, no matter how hard those subjects rained me
with the overwhelming assignments, the Dopamine released by my right hemisphere
creates a state of pleasurable atmosphere in my mind. It is like the universe
conspires to help me finish all the assignments.
That is why I can finish all assignment in the matter of
minutes—or hours.
It also goes to people, when we love someone, our right
hemisphere release the Dopamine; therefore, it seems like the universe starts
romanticizing everything that makes us happy.
So, start loving and keep loving things—or people!
P.S. I do not put any reference regarding this post because I
read it a long time ago, and again, I forget the sources. It is a mere intermezzo of mine, in the middle of editing on my proposal. Anyway, thanks to the scientists for such a good inspiration.
