I want to be insensible to indifferent issues.
For me, indifferent issues are practically all events I cannot influence anyhow. I wrote many times on the www.adammazek.com blog that I should not worry about things I cannot control. Indeed, I think these are 99.99% of all cases around me, both locally and globally. Sometimes, I feel I cannot fully control even my own thoughts or doings. Does it mean I am out of self-control? I think, while getting older, I become better with self-control, including aspects like controlling stress. Undoubtedly, intermittent fasting and exposing my body to cold (by taking cold showers and walking in summer clothes in frigid temperatures) helped me to get closer to becoming a demigod.
Of course, I am not a superhuman and will never be the one.
Still, I believe we all are humans until we behave, to some degree irrationally, out of common sense. It is not me who created this statement, but Fyodor Dostoyevsky. In today’s post (I wrote it on the 9th of February, 2024), I want to state that the only things I can change are my thoughts and doings. Thus, for all the rest, I want to be insensible because, indeed, they are indifferent issues. On the day when I wrote this text, I was walking in summer clothes while it was 1 degree Celsius (33.8 degrees Fahrenheit), while it was snowing, and the harsh was blowing.
Many people stared at me with disbelief in their eyes, but I honestly did not care about their reactions and thoughts (that I could not even hear).
Only one group of young people shouted at me “Respect” when they saw me walking in frigid temperatures, being indifferent to the weather conditions. All these things pushed me to write this text where I want to state that one of the most perfect states of one’s mind is becoming indifferent to everything that surrounds you. That’s how, by letting go of control of literally everything, we can truly take control of our minds.
