Ignore the colour red

The human mind wants to know the 'how to's of life. The design is such that we wish to have a hack, recipe, formula, method, tip and trick to deal with every aspect of our life. Of course, this is fine when it comes to operational and mechanical activities like fixing furniture or assembling physical objects. However, when it comes to mind, heart and aspects of art, these recipes do not work.

Knowing that hacks and tricks don't work is of little use. Human design will not let go of hacks. It wants to find 'how to' in everything we want to accomplice. Open any blog, book, video or attend any seminar/webinar; it is full of how to's.

Expecting humans not to look for hacks is like expecting a Bull to ignore the colour red—that difficult.
