Our mood, temperament, and behavioural style shape how we understand the world and interact with the society around us.
Much of this engagement stems not just from our thoughts or values, but from our physiological makeup.
The human body—particularly the brain—acts as a complex biochemical laboratory. Hormonal balance, neural activity, and genetic wiring all influence how we perceive, process, and respond to events.
These internal dynamics partly explain why people differ so widely in their opinions, reactions, and sensitivities to the same situation.
Two individuals can witness the same event yet interpret it in entirely different ways—one with compassion, another with suspicion.
Their mental wiring, shaped by genetics, environment, and life experiences, filters reality through distinct emotional lenses.
Every thought or emotion we express goes through our biological framework. Our hormones may trigger anger or calm, empathy or indifference.
Meanwhile, the brain’s intricate network of neurons retrieves stored memories and past experiences, helping us interpret and respond to current circumstances.
In essence, our physiological and psychological selves are partners in perception—constantly interacting, adjusting, and shaping how we relate to one another and to the world.
The self is both a state of mind and a state of matter—a living fusion of consciousness and chemistry.
And that perhaps explains the confusion, conflicts, and compromises that society undergoes.
