In German, we talk about something being annoying. And this term obviously contains the word "nerve". A nerve reacts to a stimulus. If we touch something with our skin, it reacts thanks to the nerves - and protects us from burns, for example, if we touch something that is very hot: we withdraw our hand very quickly and thus avoid worse skin damage. If something annoys us, it may be because we ourselves are overstretched or overwhelmed or because it really is something that is - well - annoying, something that gets on our nerves as we say, i.e. provokes a reaction that makes us want to distance ourselves from it. Such impulses are not annoying, but important to pay attention to. Why does it annoy us? Isn't this impulse part of our entire nervous system, even if not physically, but mentally or spiritually? So annoying can also be prophylactically protective!
I wish you an extraordinary day!
