Conditioned Mind

Tweet

We had 2 wall clocks in our living room. One is located just at the wall of the master's bedroom and we can see what time it is once we get out of our rooms (there are 3 rooms in the second floor of our house). The other clock is situated near the front door, above the television set. So, when I am watching TV and it is time to cook, I just stare up the TV and I see the time. About a month ago, the wall clock near my parents' bedroom was not functioning anymore. That clock was brought home by my big brother from UK and it is a transparent-face wall clock, so my mother(+) placed a red-color suede board so we can see the time. We cannot bring the clock for repair because of the GCQ. Therefore, the 4 of us at home have that conditioned mind to look at the wall of the master's bedroom and see nothing. It seems our necks automatically turn to the left to check the time; now, we have to gaze upward above the TV set to check what time it is. What other things do your mind condition you to do? Me, aside from looking at an absent wall clock, I unconsciously try to move my eyeglasses up from my nose brim even though I am not wearing my eyeglasses, and I always smile when I do this.
