Institutionalized

We may not even know that we have been institutionalized. It seems a big word; let me provide you the meaning of it: established in practice or custom.

We live a life of habit. Monday to Sunday, Morning to Night, our schedule is same. We are habitual of this routine. We become comfortable with this routine after sometime. We may even become completely different person and may not know. For example: a blind person, once start seeing, may become so habitual of it that he may even forget that he was blind once. This is called as adaptation. We adapt ourselves to every situation and after some time, it becomes normal. The same rule applies for everyone starting from a kid to senior, human to nature, killer to doctor. A person may become habitual of a prison that he never wants to leave it, no matter how hard the prison is. If you see an IT person, they know only one thing and they kept doing that for their entire life. They are habitual.

Time Lapsed Life

The biggest advantage of becoming institutionalized is that it becomes easy to live. You don’t have to worry about anything, just live the same life every day. You can observe such instances in movies such as Ranbir Kapoor’s Tamasha.

Well on the other hand, disadvantage is that it gets boring. Way too much boring. It’s the same schedule every day. It becomes worse when you work on the same task every day, see similar faces, and eat same thing. Too much shame.

It is advised that you should change your schedule once in a while to make your life healthier and happier. Try to make simple changes such as if you are going home at 4 o clock daily, try to go late one day. Talk to a new person one day, take a break from work. Do something different for yourself, don’t go and jump off a cliff for adventure, just do something different. Try something different today and comment if you can.
