A supersaturated solution holds a higher concentration of the solute than it could, and given the smallest trigger, it crystallizes.

The trigger can be a external particle, a shake on the solution…

In general, heat temporarily increases the amount of solute it can be concentrated, allowing also to revert the crystallization.

I think we're driving to this direction, a "metastable society".

Metastability is a state of lowest energy. Might not the best thing to allude with human behaviors but the concept of supersaturated solution is, for this thought.

I'm not even talking about the noisemakers, I'm talking about me.

The excessive social deprivation seem to bring a reduced patience available for future interactions.

And summing it with the excessive stimulus we receive for everywhere, from:

• Near people talking about random things
• Your headphones screaming in your ear
• Your screen blinking in your eyes
• The smartphone ringing about the new YouTube video and the discount on the product of your wish list
• All kind of approaches companies uses to increase your retention in their software
• Tons of useless facts spitted from the last video in your watch history
• And everything that triggers us.

Overstimulated.

Then after our schedules and tasks, we're likely to be exhausted, kinda overwhelmed.

And on the smallest interference, we get crystallized…

I don't really know. The inspiration of this writing came because it happened that I got crystallized from a trivial thing today.

I got stressed for dumb things, and then I realized the source of the stress was the unsolved issues I hid under the carpet.

This way, the personal life declines, and the allies which stands aside you are those that pays the bill.

This is not right, so some effort here is needed to solve the issue.

Considering our fast paced reality, maybe dedicating a extra time with those that stand aside us even at tough moments in order to dissipate the accumulated excesses, maintaining a good situational understanding between each other, increasing the trust and maintaining transparency.

Because I think we need to heat up the saturated solution before dilute it. Crystals doesn't dissolves easily.

Despite the "golden age" which a quick evolving society brings, we might need some handling to all this extra stimulus.

And maybe this problem is not so hard to solve at all.

Thanks for reading, I hope you can see some worth in it.

Keep your allies healthy! Or in this case, the concentration of your solutions well managed!
