I was curious why I sometimes couldn’t stop reading some negative comments on Twitter.
But I got one explanation when I read my favorite author’s newsletter several days ago. He explained that it is because of evolutionary psychology. Everybody wants to avoid dangerous things because it is a human instinct.
He often (3)asked around if our new year’s resolutions were realized. The most important thing is to (1)arrive at a practical goal. He showed me the way of thinking when creating a New years resolution.
“You must (4)bear in mind how to stop spending the time which brings negative effects. For example, If you can’t stop reading an endless slander battle which you hate on Twitter, that is ‘Meaningless Time’. I understand that situation because people do it more often than not when they are stressed and lack time. It’s the same situation when people like bad odors.
One doesn’t need to pay attention to a good fragrance because of its safety. However bad odors might be dangerous and the situation may become worse if we don’t pay attention it. Thus people instinctively think they need to pay attention to it. There are many people who monitor insult from others on the internet to protecting themselves. However, that behavior lacks creativity. You waste your time and get more stressed. So that’s why I asked you. In my opinion, it’s a good thing that you try to lessen those kinds of times.”
After reading this message, I managed to shorten the time I checked SNS. But it’s still difficult to avoid wasting time.

Title: Why do people want smelling bad?
I was curious why I sometimes couldn’t stop to read some negative comment on Twitter.
But I got one of reason when I read my favorite author’s newsletter several days ago. He explained that one of an evolutionary psychology. Everybody wants to avoid dangerous things because it is a human instinct.
He often (3)asked around that do our new year’s plan have really a reality of realizing. The most important thing is it will (1)arrive at a practical goal. He shows me the way of thinking how to create New years resolution.
“You must (4)bear in mind how to stop spending the time which brings negative effect. For example, If you can’t stop to read an endless slander battle which you hate on Twitter, that is ‘Meaningless Time’. I understand that situation because people often and more doing that if they have stress and lack of time. It’s one of the situations that people want smelling bad.
A good fragrance does not need to pay attention because of its safety. However bad smell might be dangerous and the situation may become worse if we don’t pay attention it. Thus people instinctively think about it need to pay attention. There are many people want to monitor to insult from others on the internet for protecting themselves. However, that behavior doesn’t have creativity. You waste your time and get more stress. So I ask after you. In my opinion, it’s a good thing that you try to decrease the time that kind of.”
After reading this message, I managed the time when I checked SNS shorter than before. But it’s still difficult to avoid the waste of time.

homework:
(1)arrive at: Reach (an agreement, a decision, a conclusion)
(e.g.”It is hoped that they will arrive at an agreement at the end of the meeting.” )
(2)ask after: Enquire about someone’s well-being.
(e.g.”My mother is always asking after you.” )
(3)ask around: Mention it to people you see or meet.
(e.g.”I’ll ask around and see if anyone has seen your cat.”)
(4)bear in mind: If a person asks you to bear something in mind, they are asking you to remember it because it is important.
(e.g.”You must bear in mind that the cost of living is higher in New York.” )
