My first guess without seeing it is that the contactor is stuck (welded) shut and needs to be replaced. If you have not already done so turn the outdoor unit off until this is fixed or you will be replacing the compressor too.

How is your endocrine system like the thermostat in your house?

The negative feedback system. It works much the way a thermostat works. When the temperature in a room drops below a set level, the thermostat signals the furnace to turn on. Once the furnace has raised the temp in the room to the set level, the thermostat signals the furnace to shut off. It will continue to stay off until the thermostat signals that the temp has dropped again.
