Most, if not all, of us may have experienced a brain freeze whilst consuming an ice cream or a freezing cold drink! During that time the chances of thinking about anything other than how and when this episode will pass are negligible, if not nonexistent. Luckily an episode of that description only lasts a few seconds and once it is over we feel as if we are reborn!
On the other hand, brain freezes caused by irrational convictions and often precipitated by consistently bad behavior and/or news propagated by some politicians and the media (in all its forms), can last for much longer, maybe months or years, not a mere few seconds.
Alas, when these long brain freeze episodes are over, we realize how much time we have wasted. However, unlike the ice cream brain freezes, we have the ability, if we choose, to jump out of any of these episodes before too much time is wasted!
