All of us know that when Computer System running on any version of Windows Operating System hangs and stops executing the ongoing tasks, foreground or background, deadlock has occurred.
It is occasioned when different components of the system compete for the Processor's attention or claim the bus (the information highway) simultaneously to push their own data first for illegal trafficking. This lack of coordination results in the standoff.
The developers at the Microsoft knew that the situations like these would crop up as the computers are becoming more and more like human beings and thus developed an alternative way of resetting the system by pressing the combination of Ctrl+Alt+Del keys to circumvent the crisis without shutting down the system.
If we choose the term computeroids for us as we do humanoids for robots we see that the selection of these three keys is not without philosophical interpretation and how these key concepts provide recipe to restart our deadlocked lives.
Control
When life becomes heavy or unmanageable and an impassable darkness haunts the inner passages of the mind blocking everything, put off your decisions to some later point of time rather than to emotions which are hasty.
Emotions act instantaneously and any information entering into the brain is first received by that portion which handles emotions, so the first response is if not always but more often irrational and could make mistakes in forming the final judgment. It is at the next level of information processing where reason comes into play and judicious analysis of events take place.
The decisions taken at this calmer frame of mind are wiser and practicable. That is why we often feel remorse for the actions done and words spoken in anger. Anger is an emotion. We never mean same thing in leisure as we have meant in haste.
If at every point of time we resist our impulses and reserve our first responses we shall be able to control every situation in an efficient way.Another way of coping with the disturbing situations is controlling your own will and disallowing yourself to come in the way of will of God.
Consider every situation is from God. God always has some plans for his creature and we cannot meddle with His divine designs. I believe even asking Him something in prayer is also a kind of interference with his style of functioning. We should only say “Oh God, what you have planned for me is best for me for you know better than anyone else.” After all Prayer is not the price that we pay to purchase God's will.And if God is pleased "His gifts put man"s best dreams to shame.'
Control the conditions with patience. Nothing lasts forever. Every good and bad comes to an end and the new course of action starts. This is a balanced world. Everything is meticulously executed and in cycle. We all know that not to err is Godly. Anything that happens in this world from electron's jump from higher energy state to lower to big bang theory leads to perfection.
Every mishap, catastrophe, lightening, earth quake, hurricane is a divine measure of corrections to keep the universe in order. God chooses nothing arbitrarily, after all he is a systematic God. We are as good a natural object as is sun or a flower or an ocean. If we believe in the perfection of placement of heavenly bodies, the color combination of the nature, the ecological system, the human physiology; then there must be a perfection in human psychology as well.
We need to control and balance our psychology that gets disturbed ordinarily even with smaller things and our body energy equilibrium is lost which creates anxiety, fear and disquiet. In the times of trepidation and turbulence always keep the Windows of mind open to divine and pull yourself up by your bootstrap. Any illegal shut down may cause malfunctioning of your system. Beware!
Alter
Controlling the unsettling situations may not be that easy at times. Thus when resistances fails and life disobeys to go smoothly, fight. Volta-face. Contradict with your own ideas and shift the way of thinking to the opposite pole, so that you create a personality within a personality which would counteract your wrong-self-the self which is disturbing you. Start by altering your habits. In fact, reverse them. Reverse each and every one.
Declare a war on an unproductive peace. Do what you have never done, and don't do what you have been doing in the past. The simple principle is that we want to go with pleasant conditions unaltered, corollary, it is necessary to have maximum alteration of unpleasant and unfavourable conditions. Try it!
Deletion
We always have good memory for bad things and bad memory for good things. That is why anger stays and love leaves; that is why joys flee and sorrows become resident. Therefore, where there is permanent memory there is a problem. Over that the virus of the mind, in the form of unhealthy speculations, attacks memory and graft themselves with the genuine thoughts and subvert the thought process.
The solution is repair your thoughts by getting the bad idea out your mind and shoot it point-blank One more technique is correction by substitution. This is done by deleting the entire thought from your brain and replace it by the fresh one and immunizing it by regular vaccination. This will save the rest of the system quite decently and will improve the overall condition of the system.
Give a jolt to yourself so that the dust that is gathered as a black soot falls off.
Apart from Ctrl+Alt+Del there is one more hypocritical way to find the safe passage out of troubling situation and that is press Escape and you will Enter into fool's paradise. Good bye!
