An amazing mechanism
Now i want u to imagine a situation of a lady of abt 50s chasing after a lift. She was carrying many bags, seemingly juz came back from the market. The next thing that happened was that she kicked on a step and landed on the nose. Then there was blood on the floor. Wad do u feel abt it? Wad is ur reaction to imagining it?
It is natural that u can feel or imagine the pain that she was going through at that moment. And there is actually a mechanism that causes us to feel the pain of others without going through similar painful experience ourselves. So wad is it? The mirror neuron.
A mirror neuron is a neuron which fires both when an animal acts and when the animal observes the same action performed by another (especially conspecific) animal. Thus, the neuron "mirrors" the behavior of another animal, as though the observer were itself acting. These neurons have been directly observed in primates, and are believed to exist in humans and in some birds.
So wow the Creator created such an amazing mechanism, in that we can sympathize with pple who are in pain; so that we can learn that this experience is a painful one and we should all come up with some plan to prevent similar situations from happening.
From this very basic mechanism, the Creator offers us opportunities to experience things ourselves so that others can learn from our experience. Likewise, we can learn from others' experience. Be it joy, success, pain or failure.
HE offers the kind gesture of creating this mechanism in us. So that we can choose whether to follow one's path of success or to prevent unpleasant experience from happening. If we can feel from others' experience of defeat, are we going to tell ourselves to go through it again in order to learn?
As for me, i would want to appreciate the Creator's kind gesture.
All readers, i pray that u have good learning experience ahead=)
