I should not be sharing this with you, but knowledge is power, and with great power comes the ability to manipulate the weak-minded. Trick number one, reducing the risk of conflict. If you're in a group gathering or meeting and you think someone is likely to become aggressive towards you, sit next to them. It's very easy to show anger towards someone when they're sitting on the other side of the table. But if they're sitting next to that person, then it makes things harder and more awkward to do so.

The end. Your mind will continue to think of things that are unfinished or incomplete, according to the Zeigner effect. Therefore, if you think of the end of the melody, the song will be complete and your mind will reset. This will release the song from your mind.
