How not to be affected by a chemical

"How do you choose not to be affected by a chemical?"



Maybe it would help people to realize that there are lots of different chemicals running through their bodies, not just one or two.



As to the question of how one can ever possibly resist being affected by a chemical -- I put this very question itself down to an extreme deficiency in life experience.



For instance, if one wants to stay awake later than usual, one has a cup of coffee, containing caffeine, which counteracts any chemicals telling your mind to drop off.



And there are other ways to avoid being affected by chemicals, in terms of the openings one gives them in one's mind.  For instance if one has a high intake of pornography, one will probably be more susceptible to the influx of certain hormonal compounds.



But it is generally other people, one's authorities, rather than oneself that make sure one is not always and constantly susceptible to the sway of random bodily chemicals.  For instance a corporal shouting in your face will make you much more alert in future.



One can also, for instance, switch off certain reflexive tendencies.  If I drop a cup of hot coffee on my foot, I need not storm in and abuse the boss.  Most people who keep their jobs have learned to curtail their natural tendendies somewhat.
