- Dr. Arnold Schiebel, Professor of Neurobiology at UCLA
The limbic system supports emotion while the neocortex is involved in reasoning and conscious thought. It makes perfect sense. I can credit this fun trivia to Sarah, who always quotes this whenever I expressed my frustration with a particular situation.
I've come to the realization that I insist on living my life the hard way. My family always reminds me of this. I often know the outcome of events and still insist on "figuring it out" on my own. It makes me feel like the kid who touches the hot stove to see if it's really hot or if mom is just BSing. It's exactly like that. Why don't I ever just say "Fuck it, I know this isn't worth my time"?
Why is it so hard to turn away from things you know are toxic? Is it just part of being human? Part of life experience? Do other people knowingly make stupid decisions like I do? Is there a method to my madness?
Only time will tell.
