Why Do People Run Away From Reality?


Ask yourself that question. Its very hard to understand why humans behave the way they do when it comes to understanding certain realities of the day to day life.

This spans family circumstances , individual relationships, work place performance or for that matter sports.

As i realized quite painfully this week , evading away from reality is only going to aggravate the existing situation.

One of the key issues in understanding the reality of the situation is the acceptance that something isn't working the way it has to work. Humans dislike negativity, its one of those little things that human species dislike.

The moment someone says to us that something is wrong and a job, relationship or family ties aren't working it supposed to work, we either go on the offensive or in denial in the form of subdued rejection of the claim in question. Does this help? probably not and it never will work nor help in solving the issue at hand.

Rather than doing this, if only we could asses the issue more objectively , life would be be far better in all walks of life.

The first learning of 2011 for me has been this, in any situation objective assessment is required rather than a subjective one and there is no running away from the problem at hand.

If there is a problem , there ought to be a solution if not we wouldn't have had electricity, electric bulbs, laptops,palmtops, tablet pc, jumbo jets, high speed trains, the list is endless.

An objective assessment puts the mind on the right frame of thought process , which enables clear decision making , which in all probability leads to successful outcome. There are very few people who are born with this skill, majority of the ordinary mortals do not have this skill.

As i stated, this is a skill which can always be developed. Hopefully, this learning would help me be better in 2011.

To all who read this blog , do bear in mind that i have written this from what i have seen. You are more than welcome to contradict my arguments
