Sitting in Renal Physiology and my mind starts to think...about anything but Renal Physiology. I watched a TED lecture last night about education and it got me thinking about the hierarchy of intellect. As we grow up, I feel like our schools teach us from the ground up. Kids are encourage to go play, run around, fall down and get back up. However, as we get older our bodies receives sophistication, intellectually as well as dynamically. We move more thoughtfully and we think with more fluidity. With this happenstance we inherit shame and fear, not from monsters, bears or Lady Gaga; but we fear an entity of equal sophistication...failure. As kids, we really have no shame. C'mon you poop in your pants when your a little kid and you ride it out thinking that its a scheduled event, like oreos and naptime. You sit in class now and your ureters/rectum dilates...you're rushing to the nearest bathroom hoping to not crown out.
Aside from popping drops and peeing your pants, we inherit a fear of "failure to succeed". Wayne Gretzky once said "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take" and why don't you take them?...you are afraid of missing. Why didn't you go get the girls numbers, sitting across the bar giving you the DTF eyes? Because you think its a fabrication of your gender, and maybe it is but what's the worse that can happen? She says no?...I'm sure your city has more than one girl. Drink in your face?...that's why you bring an extra suit in the car. Honestly, when it comes down to it, a lot of the girls that you think are into you...wont be...but if you don't attempt, sure you wont get a shot to your ego, but you also won't get laid.
When it comes down to it, the biggest part of this whole ordeal is that if you try and fail...the reality that comes with the failure becomes evident to your consciousness. Fear hinders creativity, so when you sit there and figure out all the ways you can get shot down...this ugly fearless guy (who doesn't even have a suit, mind you) is walking out with your prime cut sweater cows. But seriously, "gravity is not responsible for people falling in love"...its being fearless.
