Crowd psychology

Recently, I was on festival organized by Polish Avation Institute. The admission was free so a lot of people decided to come. I can even say is that amount of people on such big place was huge!
During taking walk and looking at planes and technological doscoveries, me and my dad came to place where one of monumental planes would be launched without rising. At that time, nothing really has happened but we decided to stay for a while. People started to gather so more and more of them was intrested. There was a pilot inside of a plane and he was working on it but the thing was in completly static position. Some people started to film vehicle what was pointless for me. When the plane was finally launched, there was terrible noise and a little moves of plane. I was pretty much dissappointed but crowd still has filmed it like it was some exciting action scene mostly becuse others did the same.
My observation here is that sometimes we do something becouse it's something that many people do. We should some matters of issiues pass through three sieves like Socrates did. It will save us shame but also give us confidence which is connected to having our own opinion.

Would you consider going vegan?

I think I wouldn't. In my diet, meat and products of animal origin are big part of it. I used to eat those kind of things almost everyday so that change would be a hit for my organism and psyche. I mean that I really like meat dishes. From what I know, products of animal origin are very valuable for us as humanity. There are a lot of other things that I would limit or even reject from my diet and it would help me much more rather than meat. I'm talking about products with lots of sugar like for example chocolate. After all I don't exclude going vegan completly. I know that is good for natural enviroment and would give me much less fat. Luckily I don't belong to massive guys so I don't have to afraid.

How the situation in which we are affects us (reflection)

In last few weeks I've discover how place in which we are or people with whom we are changes our characters somewhat. Sometimes we want to fit in certain situation that we pretty much leave our yesterday's personality a little bit. I have some evidences. Spending last days of vacation in my house and room I was shy person, not really active in terms of society besides my family or close friends. Not having much to do I was thinking a lot and started worrying about school, future etc. But then school started. Spending my time with classmates and other people prompted me to become more open person who want to be a part in a group. Wanted to be someone more than lazy guy but when I was coming back home I again wanted to be that boring boy. All of a sudden I'm not sick of it. I like to be communicative and stuff but on the other side, my best friends and family know that I don't like to talk too much and I rather to listen than talk about myself. It showed me that wearing

Cold showers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsSBBPeNNDY I've watched this video because I was thinking about doing thing like this by myself. In the video, the man that take part in "challenge", explain positive and negative sides of taking cold shower everyday for 30 days. What I learned the most is that it is not about being good for health (it helps a little) but about doing a thing that we are scared of or makes us uncomfortable. Doing such thing can break our psychological barriers and make us stronger by that. Taking cold showers every morning is painful, but doing that can build up mental strength.
