The secret life of brains

0 Conversations

Why do we get headaches? Apart from the obvious reasoning such as:

-I got hit on the head
-I am under stress
-I worked too hard

There can be other noted instances when a persons head 'aches' but for no particular reason. Based on this position, one can argue that brains have a secret life.
An example: you are rested, your head aches. Why? what has your brain been doing whilst you have been preoccupied with general day to day life? IT HAS BEEN RUNNING ITS OWN LIFE! We only use a small percentage of our brains to full capacity in our daily lives, leading to the interesting position that suggests that brains not only have secret lives but also, co-exist with other brains -as a society. Thus, if your brain and my brain secretly do extreme sports, whilst we are both occupied living our day to day lives, they will inevitably exhaust themselves. Is this why some people -although not disliked or stressfull- give you a sore head when you are around them?
