Reality is a process, but our brain wants it to be static. So we have this natural conflict within ourselves.
The brain does not work in the same way for all of us or in all situations. Every teacher knows that. The pupils are different. These days there are also a number of diagnoses like ADHD and damp describing how the brain works.
If we understand reality as the flow it is, we accept temporary measures as good even if they are not perfect in a static perspective. We eat a hamburger rather then go to a restaurant for a long lunch.
For a brain that understands reality as static the world is full of "musts". The clothes in the closets "must" be in perfect order. The bed "must" be made perfectly. The pencils on the desk "must" be perfectly arranged.
Sometimes, as at Christmas time, the number of musts increase to the extreme; from buying presents to decorating the home including the Christmas tree to making all the food as must be.
This is no problem as long as it is not an obsession or as long as it leaves others alone.
