J. Snatching or Stealing
You will go out, find someone with food, and will overpower that person, and snatch the food. This is morally wrong for the brain and therefore brain puts it in the least priority.
It happens in the corporate all the time, when a manager sees that his pink slip chances are looming large, he indulges in politics, steals someone’s position, and retains the job.
K. Solving a Mental Problem
Now you know how the brain solves a practical problem, with tools, resources, energy, observation, and decision.
Decision is the choice the brain makes to solve a problem either by choosing from available processes, or by Stealing, Exchanging, Borrowing, or Begging.
Problem Solution Example: Resolve Relationship Conflicts
Now let us assume that you have a mental problem. Let us say the problem is “How to Resolve a Relationship Conflict” Each of the mental problems is also often part of some other essential problems.
i) Brain has to look for available Solutions which will be one of: Processes, Delegating, Hunting, Gathering, Borrowing, Begging, and Stealing based on your character, availability, experience, and your brain efficiency.
ii) Process-Centric Relationship Solution: You may stop quarreling with your partner, try to come back home sooner, and spend more time as the first line of solution.
ii) Delegating Relationship Solution: Now if you can not prevent yourself from arguing and can not come back early or give more time, you may resort to gifts. You may often bring new gifts for your partner to make her happy and thus solve the relationship problem.
iii) Hunting Relationship Solution: Let’s say your partner get bored of your gifts and no gift is satisfying her anymore and your relationship problem is not getting solved, you will look for a solution in books, talk to experts, youtube, and so on and will try out different methods.
iv) Begging Relationship Solution: Now say different methods you tried fail, now you will seek help from experts or your friends and relatives. You would request them to intervene and solve your problem.
v) Exchanging Relationship Solution: Let’s say the other’s intervention also does not solve your problems, now you will look for exchange(not necessarily a partner, but not necessarily, not wanting to exchange partner either). You may offer someone your labor or resource in exchange for the solution. This is when you may probably seek professional help, where you will pay money to the professional and ask him to solve your problem by counseling your partner.
vi) Borrowing Relationship Solution: You may decide, okay nothing is working, so let me change the environment, and go for either change home or go for a tour. Now you will borrow money for a tour, or borrow another place or social gathering to solve your problem.
vii) Snatching a Relationship Solution: When all the above fails, you will probably wither resort to more aggression to overpower the conflicts. You may put pressure on your partner, family, and people around you to solve your problem. This pressure is called Snatching or Stealing Forcing.
L. Walking Out
Walking out of a problem is also one of the solutions that the brain often uses at the end. For people who neither have enough resources, nor energy, or people they know who can exchange or lend them a solution, they choose walking out as a primary solution.
So for instance one may have a problem with the boss in the job and may decide to quit the job without having any other job in hand with the hope that he would get a better job.
In the same way, one may walk out of the relationship on the first instance of the conflict with the hope of finding a better relationship.
One may choose neither to cook nor to look for food and sleep hungry with the hope of somehow getting the food the next day.
M. Staying In and Doing Nothing
This is also one of the solutions our brain use, whereby the brain simply ignores the problem as a problem. This happens when the brain faces the problem over and over again with or without solving the problem, and still survives without any harm to life.
Getting accustomed to a partner’s conflict everyday evening you come back from your job is a classic example of doing nothing about a problem.
Whenever one is lazy, one may go to sleep rather than cook or look for food.
When one frequently switches jobs, losing the current job may not affect the person. On the other hand, if one has enough reserved money, one may choose to do nothing about the job loss. Same way, one who has enough food stored in the refrigerator may not bother to do anything about hunger.
