A strong believer of the fact that mind controls the body, I recently witnessed the biggest uproar from the slave against the master.
This happens when you have total disregard for your slave and exploit him beyond limits. In my case it all started about 15-20 days. I fed the slave (read - my body) with all sorts of junk, alcohol and stuff that it is not comfortable with (read steaks and lambs). I used the legs at a rate greater than ever before and then I deprived it of some basic amount of sleep.
As if all this was not enough, the mind decided to subject him to a birthday binge with a weird concoction of alcoholic liquids. The torture continued for about 4 long hours. During the sleep, while the mind was unaware, the body decided to go on a revolt of epic proportions. Next day morning, unaware of the conspiracy, the mind pushed the body out of the bed and offered her a sip of water. The body threw back the little water with a lot more of toxicity into the flush. She was shivering with angst. Little did the mind know of the amount of venom that the body was about to spew. The mind decided to give her a little more time to settle down and offered her a small cookie. She pounced back at him with even more fury and venom (read bile fluid). He submitted to the defeat and slipped into oblivion. An hour later, the slave shook the mind to life to make him feel the agony. He, in turn, tried his best to cool her down by spending a good half an hour in the shower but the slave body was inconsolable. Another sip of water, another bite of the cookie, another vent of fury!
At 4 PM EST, after a lot of effort and reconciliation, truce was finally established between the mind and the body when the body decided to accept a cup of soup, some water and a little orange juice. The mind, on the other hand, gave written assurances to the body of not indulging in binges for a long time to come. More reconciliation followed with calm sleep and a healthy and mellow dinner.
Will the mind honour the assurances? will it give up 4 hours of revelry for a day of tussle? Only time will tell!
