Your Mental Image



Imagine yourself in a room full of smelly feces with all your feet stuck inside and some of it splashed to your face. Feels disgusting right?
You might have squeezed your face while imagining that but it's not like you are there.
So why do you squeeze your face?
Is it because you know how repugnant the smell of feces is? No
The truth is you squeezed your face because of your mental image. That kind of situation only exists in your mind and picturing it will have the same effect on your face as it will in reality.

Phobia is often termed as an irrational fear towards a situation, living creature, object, etc. It’s being termed as' irrational' because people find it unreasonable.

Different people in different countries share different way of life. During the olden days before colonialism what the people respect more is their ethics and traditions.

The females are fond of gathering firewood and cooking while The males are always eager to impress them through wrestling contest, game hunt,popularity ETC.
