The Struggle Is Real, But Try To Enjoy The Ride

1 January 2015

- There are too many people in the world right now who want to deny the struggle.  They want to turn a blind eye and remain blissfully ignorant about the real and legitimate hardships that are encountered by so many.  On the polar opposite end of this mentality, is the mentality that things are so bad that they will never get better, and that the human journey is totally doomed.

It is understandable that these imbalanced ways of looking at the world are so common.  They are both coping mechanisms that our subconscious minds use to deal with the very upsetting situations that surround us on a day to day basis.  While adopting perspectives like this may make people feel better, and temporarily relieve them from the mental stress of reality, the hidden danger in this thinking is that it paralyzes people and prevents them from seriously taking action in the world.
