Sounds Fishy, Feels Funny!

Just another manic monday - well, since its nearly over in some parts of the world, it wont pay to be profane!!

Have you ever felt full? - well I don't mean an after-a-7-course-meal kinda full, just full? Lemme explain...As a first step, fullness just like fishiness seems to be at a fundamental level a state of mind. A general "feeling" of satiety. With satiety comes a general ennui, feeling of sloth, boredom and so on..So then, fullness can (per my understanding) refer to a general feeling of having taken in too much - either physically or mentally. Physically, its probably an easy concept to grab, just think of Joey, hez never full! I mean, how many of us have not hogged to the point of ::ahem:: at some point in time or the other;-) Thus, here I will devote my energies towards mental "fullness". Let me start with an example, remember Dombledore's pensieve in the Happy Potter series (was it 4 or 5? - my memory seems a bit rusty)? He uses it to store "thoughts" when he's feeling too full! The world of wizardry does seem quite sane in some such practical invention suggestions - any AI guys reading this????

But we digress..

So mental fullness is to me, a state of mind when one really is feeling quite full, thank you very much, to the extent of finding it difficult to engage in any intellectual debate or discussion in any meaningful capacity. This state is akin to refusing dessert when one is really literally quite full after a meal!

This brings us to a second question - how scientifically valid is this "state of mind". I mean, is it actually true satiation or is it a perception? The irony is in the definition itself!!

In any case, the feeling cannot, by definition, be permanent - despite the lack of pensieves in the muggle world! Come on, think about it, you really cant be so full of feeling/thoughts/emotions yada yada yada that you don't want to do anything additional?

My advice - on those days when feeling too full, take a rain-check;-) Take a break, go for a walk, yap with friends, bug some close ones with utter gibberish! And "manic" monday becomes another day to celebrate!

Such is life - you see we cannot afford to be full, not till the end! so its carpe diem!!

yours feeling-emptier,

:-)
