The weight of the glass

The professor started the lesson by taking a glass full of water in his hand. He lifted her so that everyone could see her and asked:
- How heavy do you think this glass is?
- 50 g… 100 g… 125 g… - the students guessed.
- The truth is, in fact, that I don't know myself. And until we weigh it, we can't be sure - said the professor. But I wanted to ask you something else. What happens if I hold a glass like this for, say, a few minutes?
- Nothing! Replied the students.
- Good. And what happens if I hold a glass like this for an hour? The professor asked again.
"Your hand will start to hurt," one student replied quickly.
- Exactly. And now, what happens if I keep her like this for a whole day?
- Your arm will start to hurt a lot, and such an effort may stiffen your muscles, and it is even possible that your arm will become paralyzed. And you will most likely have to go to the doctor urgently.
"Very well," the professor continued calmly. - And while all this is happening, do you think the weight of the glass has changed?
- No! Everyone answered aloud.
- So what is the cause of pain in the arm and muscle spasms ?!
The students found themselves confused, the situation already looked like a riddle to them, and they all eagerly began to look for an answer.
- What should I do to get rid of the pain and burden in this situation? The professor continued.
- RELEASE THE GLASS! - Suddenly there was an answer from the amphitheater.
- Yeah, that's it. That is the answer. Let go of the glass! The professor jumped. - The same thing happens with your problems in life and with your difficult thoughts. Thinking about them for a few minutes is a normal thing, and there is nothing wrong or wrong with that. But if you keep them in your mind for a long time, you will feel PAIN. And if you do it for a very long time, too long - you will feel paralyzed, ie you will not be able to do anything else. It is very important to think about certain events or experiences in your lives and draw conclusions from them, but it is even more important to know how to free your mind from these problems at the end of each day. No matter what situation you find yourself in, drop a glass at the end of each day.
