Overthinking Turns a Loose Plug into a Life Sentence


“If you overthink a problem, the problem only grows bigger.” It sounds simple, but in reality, it’s terrifying. Imagine your table fan suddenly stops working. A normal person would say, “Let me check if the plug is loose.” But if you are the thinking type, tragedy begins immediately. You start: “Oh no! What if the fan is dead? If it’s dead, I’ll have to call a mechanic. The mechanic will say the coil is burned. Replacing the coil will cost at least a thousand bucks. If I spend that thousand, my monthly budget will collapse. If my budget collapses, my wife will get angry. If my wife gets angry, I’ll have to go to the market alone. If I go to the market alone, I’ll definitely fight with the shopkeeper over prices. If I fight with the shopkeeper, there will be a police case. And if there’s a police case—straight to jail!”



So, starting from an innocent little fan, you end up in court within five minutes. That’s the real disaster of overthinking. And the funniest part? In the end, you discover the fan was never broken—the plug was just a bit loose. You push it in, the fan starts spinning like nothing ever happened, and you stand there ashamed, thinking: “I just turned a loose plug into an international conspiracy!” That’s the real comedy of life—problems are small, but our brain turns them into an Oscar-winning drama.

In truth, a problem is like a seed. Worrying is like watering that seed. The more water you pour, the faster it grows into a massive tree. And once that tree builds a nest in your head, goodbye peace of mind. That’s why—yes, think about your problems, but don’t overthink them. Because overthinking doesn’t solve the issue—it just makes the problem ten times worse and your life look like a tragicomedy.

 The Man Who Turns Tragedy into Therapy: Meet Mr. Kelvin, the Neighbourhood Comfort Guru 😂 Mr. Kelvin is that one guy in the neighbourhood everyone knows. People call him “the walking comfort centre.” Whenever someone cries, he magically appears with a tissue box like it’s his personal weapon. 📜 After His Wife’s Death When his wife passed away, neighbours rushed in with enough advice to start a new reality show called “Extreme Grief Counselling.” One said, “Time heals everything, bro.” Another said, “She’s in heaven, smile more.” And one absolute legend even said, “I’ve been married three times, you can borrow one of mine!” Kelvin thought: “Wait… are they comforting me or auditioning for a comedy club?” 😢 His Therapy Hack: Other People’s Misery From then on, Kelvin invented a new therapy— “Look at someone else’s misery, and yours feels tiny.” One day, Mr. John came over, looking like a man who tried to rob a bank but got robbed by the bank instead. His business failed ...

Crystal-Clear Spacewalk or Just Too Much Detergent? Amara Chen Explains   Astronaut Amara Chen’s crystal-clear spacewalk was supposed to be one of those serious, history-making moments for humanity. The Earth was watching on TV screens, dramatic music was playing in the background, and there she was—floating slowly in space, stars glittering all around. But inside her helmet, something entirely different was going on. Her first words were: “Who on Earth polished this helmet with detergent? Everything looks so sharp, I feel like I’m peeking through a brand-new rental apartment window.” From Houston’s control room, an engineer tried to sound professional: “Amara, focus on your mission.” Amara shot back, “Mission later. First tell me, how do I scratch my nose inside this glove?” Then she drifted near a solar panel and saw it shining brilliantly. She thought, “This is exactly how my mother’s brand-new dinner plates used to shine back home. Even in dim light, they sparkled like jewels.”...

Whatever You Say, That's Right! (Comedy Skit on Office Life & Onion Prices) Whatever you say, that’s right" — if you live by this mantra, problems decrease, but drama increases. At the office, the boss says, “You’re very smart. From tomorrow, you’ll bring tea to the meetings.” There’s nothing to do except stare wide-eyed. While making tea, you realize office politics actually begins with the kettle. One day the boss asks, “Why is there less ginger in the tea?” and you start to wonder if the key to promotion is hidden in the amount of ginger. At home, your mother says, “Whatever you say, that’s right? Then go to the market right now, buy onions, and oh—get a bar of soap too.” Hearing the price of onions feels like “development” is happening in the country, but there’s a storm in your wallet. At the market, you see the soap standing next to the onions, hiding its face in shame—as if it wants to wash itself after hearing its own price. Following this principle might get...
