Of the Mind-Numbing Matter

The human mind is an amazing thing. I think we can live the entirety of a fantasy in our mind, and be strangely content when it doesn't follow our real life. Because we subconsciously do not want it to come true. 

For normal human beings, this way they get to have the best of both worlds.  That tiny portion of my brain that stores memories of my life gets to store these virtual memories. And one day in the distant future I will retrieve these virtual memories and might even feel a tad nostalgic. Because that’s what a powerful thing our brain is. It really doesn't not seem to amaze me ever. 

Ofcourse when it gets out of hand is when you suffer from these crazy disorders, named in such a way that the people suffering from them can at least get a hold on what's happening to them if not anything else in their life! Multiple Personality Disorder. Can it get any simpler than this. It doesn't even warrant an explanation. Lets not go to schizophrenia yet.
