We all know what the internet can be like. We surf around for hours and occasionally stumble over something that sounds interesting, and we take a note of it. Then we can’t remember where we stumbled over it in the first place. It’s frustrating.
I stumbled over this so-called Fact of Psychology.
“When the first teardrops come from the right eye, it’s happiness. But when the first teardrops come from the left eye, it’s pain.”
Since reading this, I’ve been experimenting in two ways.
My first experiment was based on trying to block all tears from my left eye in the vain hope of avoiding pain. It doesn’t work but, thinking up ways to stop the tears running from my left eye first, has given me hours of pleasure and lots of challenges. If you decide to try this, I suggest you simply keep a list of your tear-stopping ideas. Don’t actually take the experimentation to the practical level because it can be very painful and the healing process means a major delay in getting on with the second experiment. I know this from hard-earned experience.
My second experiment was based on synchronising my eyes, or rather the flow of tears. If I could just get both eyes to roll out the tears at the same time, I would have achieved something. My reasoning here was that I could, simultaneously, be in pain but still be happy. Ok, it’s not a massive achievement but at least it’s a step in the right direction.
If you have any suggestions for similar types of experimentation, let me know and I’ll get back to you with the results.
