WE DO NOT MOVE UNLESS WE ARE BOTHERED: a revolutionary discovery in human actions, every single human motion is caused by a bothersome; we remain motionless if nothing bothers us. Imagine sitting on the sofa in your living room, completely comfortable, with nothing at all to bother you. You are not hungry, thirsty, or tired. You are not cold, hot, or sick. The telephone does not ring. You are not worried about bills coming due or your job or business. You are not bored or sleepy, and absolutely nothing makes you uncomfortable, worried, excited, or upset. You are continuously calm and comfortable sitting on that sofa. Would you make any movement if nothing bothered you? WHAT WOULD BE THE FIRST MOTION OF OUR BODIES IF NOTHING BOTHERED US? Our actions depend on our balance. We perform motions only when we lose our balance, and we remain immobile as long as we are in-balance.
When you see a beggar, you lose your balance (comfort), and you give him or her some money to regain your balance. Someone gives you a flower, and you say thank you to regain your balance. How would you feel if you didn't say thank you when someone gave you a flower? You would feel uncomfortable and imbalanced. WHAT HAPPENS IN OUR MINDS WHEN WE INITIATE MOTIONS? We perform motions based on the potential outcomes of our joy and suffering. Our brains constantly evaluate joy and suffering, and we act where there is more enjoyment and less suffering. In other words, the sum of the outcome of our wants and fears determines our motions.
PROBLEMS CREATE IMBALANCES AND WANTS IN US. WE PERFORM MOTIONS TO REGAIN OUR BALANCE. The above discoveries opened a new window into the cause of actions. This book is an advanced, powerful tool for analyzing human decisions.
