THE BOILING FROG Have you ever heard about the so-called 'The Boiling Frog Syndrome'? Here's the synopsis of its story: If you put the frog in a boiling water, it will jump out immediately. But, if you put the frog in a tap water and just gradually turn up the temperature of the water, the frog will remain there. The frog will adjust its body temperature in accordance with the rising temperature of the water. It will not jump out no matter how hot the temperature it's in. However, as the water reach its boiling point, the frog is not able to adjust anymore and so, it decided to jump. Unfortunately, it is also no longer able to jump, because it has already lost all its strengths by adjusting with the water's temperature. Consequently, the frog dies. ***This story is often used as a metaphor for the inability of people to decide when to adjust and face the situation, and when to jump out of it. Madalas itong mangyari sa mga abusive relationship. May mga abusive people kasi na umpisa palang nagpapakita na ng mga traits ng pagiging abusive (like the way they think, they act and they talk) pero still tinatanggap at minamahal pa rin natin sila. Some people are already aware that they might be entering an abusive relationship, pero go pa rin sila...kasi nga nanghihinayang sila sa pinagsamahan, kasi mahal nila, kasi akala nila magbabago pa. Kaya ang resulta nasasaktan sila, physically and emotionally. Kaya paalala lang mga kaibigan: "Huwag tayong maging katulad ng Palaka, na aalis lang kapag hindi nya na kayang mag-adjust sa sitwasyon. Hangga't maaari, kapag nasaktan ka na ng sitwasyon o taong iyon sa pisikal, emosyonal at mental na aspeto. Umalis ka na...jump out ka na beh, bago pa mahuli ang lahat. Yun lang po! Magandang hapon sa lahat! Katatapos ko lang maglaba, kaya ngayon lang nakapagbisita kay noise. Hehe @Mariagioia00 PS: Galing po sa isang Facebook post ang ginamit na istorya at litrato (CTTO)
