There are three gunas that are said to operate in the mind.
The three gunas are sattva, rajas and tamas
Tamas is inertia, it is the feeling of helplessness of laziness of depression. It is not all bad however, when you sleep you need tamas
Rajas is energy, it is the can do spirit enthusiasm, bubbliness
Sattva is harmony, it is the discriminative intelligence, wisdom which can recognize and balance the other two.
Sad to say however that Sattva is the rarest of gunas, and so people that are wise are rare.
Rajas is celebrated in today's society as a "man of action", "always doing something or other" things "full of vigor".
Tamas is however universally condenmed.
The upshot of all this is that there is an excess of Rajas in today's society.
