Come To Grips With What You Have Right Now
Is this worth our piece for today? That is, how to Come To Grips With What You Have Right Now. Before we get bogged down with semantics, let's admit it that we humans have a bit of a problem with reality. We experience it all the time but struggle to define it, let alone understand it. Sometimes, it seems solid enough and yet when we examine it much closer, it seems to 'MELT AWAY' like a mirage. We DON'T know when it began, how big it is, where it came from and where it came from and where it is going and very likely we DON'T have the slightest clue why it exist๐๐๐Nevertheless, our desire to understand reality seems part of our nature and indeed we have come a long way. What was once explained in terms of 'divine creation' is now even in the purview of science. Over the past two centuries [if my number crunching is good enough], we have peeled back to the layers of REALITY even if we are still NOT entirely sure what we have revealed๐น๐น๐น
If anything, that mystery only seemed to have deepened more. We are now at a point where it is equally credible to claim that REALITY is entirely dependent on subjective experience or entirely independent of it. REALITY has, in fact, never felt so UNREAL. Once we delve into the latest ideas about REALITY, from our own everyday experience to the fundamental physics that seeks to describe the true nature of the 'cosmos'. BTW, those ideas can be so dizzying but there seems no greater challenge than for us to grasp REALITY.
But let's not be lost in the maze of REALITY because it is such a big and bewildering concept. Which could be an abstract way of saying 'EVERYTHING THAT THERE IS'. And if we all have a common stumbling block, it is that DENIAL that presents itself as our defense mechanism. As DENIAL involves ignoring the REALITY of a situation to avoid anxiety, defense mechanisms are strategies that people use to cope with distressing feelings๐๐๐
BUT if indeed you are in DENIAL, it often means that you're struggling to accept something that seems overwhelmingly stressful. And while in the short-term, that defense mechanism can have a purpose, it will likely allow you to have time to adjust to a sudden change in your REALITY. By giving yourself time to adjust to a SUDDEN CHANGE in your REALITY, you may be able to COME TO GRIPS WITH WHAT YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW๐๐๐
