My mind is ruled by my body

  

"Health is the greatest possession."

   Sometimes I feel that the physical health of a person reflects on the mental health.  Off late, the season change  has effected my physical being.  Fever, cold, allergy -  things that limited my physical activities.  When I had fever, my body refused to get out of the bed.  I slept almost the whole day.  When I had cold, my nose got stuffy and so did my brain.  I could not think.  I felt like my brain was blocked with my nose.  With allergies, I sneezed my heart out.  So, even though I stayed home all the days when I was sick and had a lot of time to myself, it didn't occur to me to write my thoughts down.  Well, I didn't have any other thoughts than the thought of speedy recovery. I just yearned to feel better.  It was in one of these days that I realized that I am capable of bearing a lot of mental stress but I am incapable of bearing physical pain.  My mental stress didn't effect my physical self  the way my physical being affected my mental state.  My mind is ruled by my body.   As my nose still feels stuffy and the allergy medicine is wearing off, I am starting to feel that my brain has gone on a strike.  I read the news but nothing is absorbed by my brain.  I browse the net but nothing seems to interest me.  I flip the photos yet my mind refuses to function.  So on that note, I end here and wait for the day for my heart to start pumping blood directly to my brain like it did before my sinuses flared up due to allergens.
