Spontaneity

Today’s culture I do not understand why gives so much importance to spontaneity. In movies the actress will take the workaholic actor and go and sleep on the street, watching stars and then we are supposed to love that randomness in her.

While in reality I cannot imagine being that random all the time. Human beings love routine, however negativity that word may have gathered now. The best part of routine is you know, what you are going to do next, your brain gets used to the routine and nicely goes on autopilot.

Its ok to take a vacation and then be random there for few days, but in daily life, you need routine, a timetable. Imagine thinking all the time, what to do next and do only what you feel like doing, there are so many tasks in everyones life that we detest to do but that needs to be done.

And thinking every minute about what to do next I am very sure drive even the most spontaneous person insane. Our body , our brain love to go on autopilot. Have monotony in life so that subconscious part of your brain can stay active and think about other more important things.

Imagine so many scientific inventions were done, when a person was doing a routine, monotonous job and by refusing to have routine and living each day as it comes, we are denying our brain a power to do something big, just keeping him engaged in low level day to day tasks.

Its like hiring an MBA and then making him do filing all the time, different way each day, coz we are unable to develop an automated system to do so.
