You know that story of the Russian cosmonaut? So, the cosmonaut, He's the first man ever to go into space. Right? The Russians beat the Americans. So he goes up in this big spaceship, but the only habitable part of it's very small. So the cosmonaut's in there, and he's got this portal window, and he's looking out of it, and he sees the curvature of the Earth for the first time. I mean, the first man to ever look at the planet he's from. And he's lost in that moment. And all of a sudden this strange ticking... Begins coming out of the dashboard. Rips out the control panel, right? Takes out his tools. Trying to find the sound, trying to stop the sound. But he can't find it. He can't stop it. It keeps going. Few hours into this, begins to feel like torture. A few days go by with this sound, and he knows that this small sound... will break him. He'll lose his mind. What's he gonna do? He's up in space, alone, in a space closet. He's got 25 days left to go... with this sound. So the cosmonaut decides... the only way to save his sanity... is to fall in love with this sound. So he closes his eyes... and he goes into his imagination, and then he opens them. He doesn't hear ticking anymore. He hears music. And he spends the sailing through space in total bliss... and peace.
Did you ever experienced things like that? Could you stop hearing something you didn't want to hear?
i can relate to this. unkown or irritating sounds make me go nuts full on. i use music for example techno or monotonous sounds to blend them out. this works quite well for me it would be hard to imagine it is a friendly noise but in an extreme case it might work but blending is easier.
all we have experienced things like that, but the place is different. read the story of your post we can inspired us to imagination in changing the first thing we do not want to be something we love.
@reinikaerrant when things drive one crazy sometimes you have to stop resisting and go with the flow. In a way that is what life is all about. We need to accept and learn and absorb like water down a stream. Thank-you for you poignant story!
thank you @cabbagepatch! you're right, there is time for everything, time to resist and time to accept, and the smartest thing we can do is not to confuse those times :)
