Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Adults!--- A global pandemic.

Dear Human,
Have you noticed that everything (except human) are immune from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder? This is due to the fact that their baseline energy level "almost" perfectly matched their phenotype. So they are not disturbed with their own nature. We human have much more energy in us than our body and mind can bear. Just like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children, we have so much extra energy that we become hyperactive without our conscious knowledge.
Just like children
1. We are unaware of the existence of extra energy in our body. We always have to do something; we have to explore, we have to discover, we have to indulge, we have to enjoy, we have to be happy, but we don't know why we have to do those things! Just like kids, we say we want to do those things and that's it. We do not have the courage to ask, why we are doing what we do.
2. We don't put attention carefully on whats going on. We just do what we think (with some or huge influence from others).
3. We do not understand what is the meaning of things that we are doing.
4. We do not ask why we have too much energy ( unlike rest of the staff like molecules, cells, organisms) in first place.
All this can be best summarized as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is totally okay to label children with ADHD but you are not allowed to put any such label to adult, no matter how identical both of theses are! Funny rules of the game! The result is the world we are seeing today. Good, bad, mediocre, cool, funny, sexy, fat, smart and the rest of it. Don't get me started on this list, lol. Everything has to have a name, everything has to be categorized in preexisting or "new" paradigm. It has to fit into the paradigm. It has to, unless, ... the child thinks (in adult's body)..., how things will operate? We cannot operate without this logic of paradigms.
Because we have so much energy, we are putting even more energy to into the existing energy to check what are the things we can do or achieve, rather than checking the nature of the original cause of this high energy to begin with. We are occupied with the buzz that we get in doing various things, in various phases of life. We never have the courage, intellect or sincerity to think why we get buzz at different things but not with same thing over and over again. Why? Are buzzes are just a sign or is it the goal? A real goal should not be fleeting. When a baby can recognize it mother, it gives him a buzz, but in later life the buzz decays. When a child is able to walk, it gives him a big buzz, but later this buzz is gone. When a boy uses his own hand for eating, when he can ride a bicycle so on, all gives them a pleasure sensation, qualitatively similar to the "high" of drugs of abuse. During teen age, doing and thinking like an adult is the buzz. There is a big buzz in being adult, self sufficiency, and not listening to what one's parents say. That's why teens tend not to listen anything from their parents. Not listening is the teen's buzz. Then comes the buzz of girls or boys. Soon after, talking and meeting with girls is not a good enough buzz, and things go to the next level, the sex. For next couple of decades, sex buzz dominates and then decays. Not even sex will be a good buzz after a while. After living together for long time, between men and women, sex is not important in their relationship at all. Now achieving power and fame becomes the buzz in place of sex. Are all these buzz generating things the real goal or just sign? As far I can tell, a real goal should not be evanescent. Have you imagined what will be your everlasting buzz [hence potentially a real goal, rather than just another buzz] at your deathbed? If you have one, then what's preventing you to pursue that? Without considering these we are just consumed with signs and then ask ourselves: "Why am I not satisfied yet. What else? Why I have to have more? Why my thirst is not quenched? My answer would be, you tried to quench your thirst by drinking the "menu" of juice [the "signs"], rather than the actual juice [the "goal"]. So much energy wasted! Do you recognize now that this extra energy is very similar to the ADHD who are also wasting it, says the adults, who are doing the same thing themselves! We never become adult, although, apparently, it seems we do, both physically and mentally [but those childhood traits are still submerged in the deep recess of our adult mind and body]. We still operate with the ignorance of the fact that, like child's body and mind, we have more energy (Hyperactivity) and we are not putting attention ( Attention Deficit) to the nature of this nature. And we continue to misdirect this extra energy to do things/staff in impulsive fashion (with careful, socially polished way, so it will not look impulsive or childish), some of them are called success and some of them called failure.
There is ongoing massive global pandemic of identity confusion (minor form) or identity disorder (major) and hence distorted role models. We are in ADHD. Wake up kid!
You have nothing to be insecure of. If you can read and understand what I an saying then you already have the "thing" that you will ever need.

The freedom is the cause and the cure of this curse.
The choice is yours!
