Starting trouble :-))

It does look like a simple phrase... it gives an illusion that once that trouble is over, 'everything else' is going to be okay!

Maybe so, about some gadget... or a mechanical equipment like the engine of a vehicle, or a motor pump-set that can't prime by itself, before it delivers water vertically, etc....

Human beings ?
The moment we step into a 'civilised' society... the civility causes a few unintended side-effects.
The very theme or concept of 'civility' when it started focusing more on providing more and more of comfort zones, rather than safeguarding the individuals from a collective threat (like unfettered traffic, holding up a feeble oldie for too long from crossing over to the other side of a street), or an individual's eccentricities causing a nuisance to others collectively (singing a song too loudly, with utter lack of harmony, at mid night on a densely populated street)... etc..

The effect of these comfort zones is gradual and over a period of time...
We feel it perfectly okay to get-started a bit late on a 'non-working' day, called Sunday...
Only that the stomach is unaware of such 'civilised' protocols, and it gives the alarm 'as-usual' :-))

It is the 'starting-trouble' of women folk that gets unduly magnified, when it is their destined-response-ability, to churn out the raw materials in a kitchen into an edible form at the shortest possible time (the phrase, 'two-minute-noodles'... gets its popularity, only-and-only due to this crucial-factor!... Doesn't matter, whatever else gets sacrificed, ... be it even the health of the children!)...

When health gets imbalanced, due to subordinate-functions that we deploy into, our organs and limbs, than its main intended ones... (of course, a 'big-thanks' to the tireless+endless scientific advancement, and the efforts engaged into , to translate the bulk of our innovations and creativity to evolve better and newer gadgets towards that-direction)... the society seems to lose sight of its very purpose of 'grouping-together' (religāre )... and we individuals end up with a physique that churns out strange and bizarre kinds of ailments... The 'steadiest' growth of ailments (to me), seems to be directed into accentuating that starting trouble..

By the time we really get started with a 'new year resolution', and reach its full-running-capacity, it is already the end of that-year, and our civility demands a 'renewal' of it afresh!

What if the starting trouble is handled forcibly?

The lady of the house, for example, ... goes through the morning routine, under a great stress ... and spends the entire-rest-of-the-day... trying hard to get relieved of that stress :-))

(Some other lady... for example... decides to avoid that stress.... goes a bit slow in getting started... ends up with peak engine-power at a very wrong time, often into late night :-))

In nature.... some creatures like birds... start up their cold-engines, a little ahead of time.. Birds, start chirping around say 4 am.. if the day-break is at 6 am... But that cannot be classified as their-antidote for their-starting-trouble... It is just that their body-weight and wing-span do not match (aerodynamics)... and therefore, they do a 'Yoga-business' which lightens their body temporarily, and as-and-when required, they make that noise, with a bellow-action from belly :-))

Spiritual masters do give concession to a 'starter' with slight starting trouble... They prescribe a thorough overhauling of the body and mind! Maybe that is why a few enthusiasts, who disdain such 'mauling' of their body and mind.... assert that they prefer to 'make it' without a physical-guru !

We are 'blessed' enough... that we do not have any 'ending trouble at all'... Unlike other life forms, we humans are quite 'over-civilised' ... enough to end our troubles-itself, by ending ourselves well-ahead of 'schedule' :-))

endlessly yours,

(just to avoid my own starting-trouble)
