How stressful situations affect our brain.
A few years back, I managed to gain entry into my own residence. Upon my arrival home after a drive, it was approximately midnight during the freezing winter of Montreal. Prior to that, I had been spending time with my friend, Mark, who lived on the other side of town. The temperature outside was incredibly frigid, as indicated by the thermometer on my front porch, which displayed minus 40 degrees. And just to clarify, it doesn't matter whether we're talking Celsius or Fahrenheit because both scales coincide at minus 40. To put it simply, it was extremely cold. Standing on the front porch, I rummaged through my pockets and realized that I didn't have my keys with me. To my frustration, I spotted them through the window, resting on the dining room table where I had absentmindedly left them.
