What is the stupid puma syndrome? What is it called? from Onur Türk's blog

​​You know the puma. The distant ancestor of wild cats. The spotted predator, about two meters long. Let's explain this definition, which takes the name of the syndrome from this animal.

The puma is famous for many features, this wonderful cat of the forests. But it is best known for its fast and agile running. It is a pleasure to watch its movements, which gradually accelerate from the moment it pursues its prey and reveal all the joints and muscles of its body. This death run sometimes ends with the victory of the puma, and sometimes with the victory of the victim running for its life.

So how long does a puma run after its prey? This feature of the puma is what makes the wild hunter of the forests an example for man, the founder of civilizations. The puma always adjusts the "death run" it continues after its prey according to the size of its prey. In other words, the time it runs to catch a gazelle is never the same as the time it spends after a rabbit. Because the puma is an intelligent animal, and the puma gives up running when the amount of energy it spends while running exceeds the amount of potential energy it will obtain from the prey. He accepts defeat and looks for other prey. For this reason, he runs after the gazelle more and after the rabbit much less.

Here, the "stupid puma syndrome" is used to express the state of mind of people who do the opposite, that is, the foolish ones who run after a rabbit for years and then finish the prey they catch in one meal. The secret of success lies in being a puma, that is, in determining the balance between the effort spent and the result achieved...

At some point in our lives, we spend a lot of time on small things or we spend years on people who will not love or value us, and when we cannot achieve the desired result, we face a great spiritual destruction. That's why the Stupid Puma syndrome suits this situation very well.
