Traffic Light Thoery

I have a fondness of writing stupid theories that matter to little more than rubbish. Keeping with tradition, i have come up with a new theory, titled "Traffic Light Theory". I have not done extensive research or used any guinea pigs, but i think that it holds true for most people.

As children of the future will write in their examination papers, "The Traffic Light Theory states that "the mood and attitude of a person for that particular day can be influenced by the number of red and green traffic lights he comes across in the morning while driving to his destination"."

Of course, you must have realised that this theory applies to only the people who drive to their work/ college places.

Let me explain this theory in more "layman terms". Suppose you are driving to your college in the morning. By pure chance, you have a green light at all the traffic signals. Then, your day will seem to be more constructive and pleasant. i.e., an increase in number of green lights will mean that the person is happier and calmer.

Conversely, if you seem to be having red lights all along, you will be more frustrated and irritated. i.e., an increase in the number of red lights equals an increase in frustration and anger.

I haven't yet come to a decisive conclusion as to what triggers this happiness or frustration. But i think there are two major contributors.

1) The pollution (both the air and sound) results in a foul mood.

2) People are eager or in a hurry to get to their destinations. Red lights hamper their journey and this might cause the person to react negatively.

Well with these contributions to the world of philosophy, i think i have now earned the right to be named amongst the likes of Nietzsche and Wilhelm Reich. I don’t know how i do it! It comes naturally to me. Amrit - The Nihilistic Philosopher.
