Today, we
understand that infectious diseases like flu, chickenpox and pneumonia are
caused by microscopic organisms – bacteria and viruses. This, the germ theory
of diseases, in fact opened our eyes. Without this knowledge, we might have
never developed ways to treat and prevent such infections.
In a similar
manner, why we don’t have a theory for psychological issues? In fact all our
issues in the behavioral plane can be grouped as misplaced or incongruent
responses, whether as actions, reactions, or other expressions. While seeking
the origin of such incongruence, one thing is becoming clear. Our adherence a
particular set of responses, which we term as the appropriate ones, is what is
making our current response, unacceptable. In fact, as our adherence to any
such established responses can effectively make each of our natural responses,
into an issue. In short we can say that conditioned behavior is acting like a
germ. Whatever psychological issues are there in our midst could be happening
as a result of some of the impediments we impose on our conduct, either on our own or by others.
