The Journey from Beauty to Boredom: An Emotional Breakthrough for Cognitive Reserve

Abstract

Beautocracy, the rule of beauty standards, is an open challenge to every individual to meet them. If he is not the master of it, then he should be subservient to it. Emotions are conscious mental responses to desired situations or events. A person can become emotionally attached to things, people, or even abstract ideas. This is instinctual to identify himself or herself after having the feeling of belongingness. This feeling of belongingness gives him the power to live an emotional life of attachment. And one perspective of this emotional attachment is that it often stems from an individual’s personal experience of the perceived beauty of these things, people, events, or situations. Initially, we may love something based on its aesthetics at a particular moment, but over time, this attachment, or love, tends to fade. Eventually, we may grow bored with these attachments. This relationship between beauty and boredom is both very unique and dynamic, as it shifts our attention towards other objects of attachment. During this subjective experience, cognitive reserves help maintain normal brain function.
