Buddha, unfortunately, said “Mind is everything”. He figured out, without flaunting on LinkedIn, that whatever we become is due to the quality of our thoughts and also actions. His biggest flaw is that he was ahead of his time in pouring out solutions, although not-so-overrated like India’s current PM, yet failed to consider intellectual views on mental health from ultracrepidarian slacktivists from twitter.
This blog is biblical enough to guide anyone on destroying mental health, since the world is already an ideal place to live in.
Mental health, as we know, on a non-satirical ground, is an integral and essential component of health. The WHO constitution states: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” An important implication of this definition is that mental health is more than just the absence of mental disorders or disabilities. Mental health is a state of well-being in which an individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and is able to make a contribution to his or her community. Mental health is fundamental to our collective and individual ability as humans to think, emote, interact with each other, earn a living and enjoy life. On this basis, the promotion, protection and restoration of mental health can be regarded as a vital concern of individuals, communities and societies throughout the world.
Ceteris Paribus. Our society today is very worldly and passionately empathetic. We’re doing so good that aliens from planet Mars are wanting to stay here and imitate our commitment towards mental health issues. My previous blog on mental health that pressed upon data has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, too.
Therefore, I thought to prolude 6 ways of destroying your mental health because tomorrow is a new day and I aspire that you ruin it yourself than letting anyone do it for you.
1) There’s nothing called depression
Depression is a myth. Whatever, on confessing our so-called mental health problems, our honourable and benevolent parents tell us regarding depression is actually not a myth. They’re older and they have lived experiences too. You should blindly follow their stories and debunk the concept of depression because our social values have taught us to obey the teachings of parents. I know a parent of a friend who offered a very wise opinion who complained about it: “depression is an excuse and it’s made by lame people”
A cousin’s parents went all the way to a religious place, when his daughter was undergoing depression. He believed that she was possessed by some ‘spirit’, so he sprinkled some cow urine on her and he believed that he cured her. When I told him to take her to some professional help, he blocked me on whatsapp. I like it.
2) Invest your time and energy in fixing the environment
I know a mate who often gets his a** drained off in fixing the environment. He believes that by fixing the environment he lives in, he will breathe well. Well, if fixing the environment resets the mindset of people, then we would not need therapists at all. It’s altogether a different issue that therapies are expensive and also luxurious, but moreover it’s actually a brilliant idea to fix the environment rather than our own mindset.
As you know, fixing your mindset requires determination. These days, people are Übermensch and rarely they would ‘change’ the people than change the people.
3) Stigmatise mental health as much as you can
It’s so offensive to my feelings too, when I see woke mental health activists trying to destigmatize mental health in schools and on social media. Well, my feelings matter more than facts so it’s obvious that we must treat mental health as a taboo. For years and even today, sex is considered still a stigma (despite we are overly populated, amidst increase in sexual crimes). Why would these illuminated individuals want to destigmatize mental health, when we’re so happy and wealthily privileged?
Stigmatising mental health is not part of global conspiracy. In fact, if we stigmatize it, how would we benefit from further toxifying the society?
4) Validate what others say
The best way to break the confidence and behaviour of any good-going individual is to pressurise him/her for subscription towards social anxiety. As you know ‘we live in a society’ so it’s important that each one of us continue to do our best in validating each other and also passing judgements and slurs.
Unless you don’t take the moral onus in validating others or getting validated, don’t you think your existence is of nihilistic importance?
5) Ban and tax this ‘safe space’
So, the new generation is taught by some indecent educators and social workers that safe space is important. In this world of Orwellian panopticon societies, why should some of these dare to talk of safe space? Privacy and consent may intersect with each other but eventually safe space can be used as a tool to overthrow the ideals of such a good society that we live in today.
Only through a few more rigorous regulations and taxes on such safe spaces, can we ban such safe spaces because our families, religious places, schools, work places, etc are already better? We don’t need more safe space on this finite planet!
6) Hustle, hustle, and keep hustling
Our planet has infinite resources. We even send money to planet Jupiter because they are in debt. For us, hustling matters. Otherwise, how would you become successful? Becoming peaceful does not matter because it’s a stupid idea! The world already has many peacebuilders. We need more successful people who can continue to make our planet a better place to live in.
I remember how I hustled for marks in school. If I scored less, I was disrespected by friends and taunted by teachers. You know it, the world respects those who score more and disrespects those who score less. We need more such worlds in this world, even hustling may come at the cost of mental health. If you think I am kidding, remember you will be eventually replaced for not hustling.
I hope this blog did not *trigger* you. If it did, you still should not end your life because you competed well against other sperms to reach here.
