Honesty

Being apathetic about your life and refusing to face yourself is usually driven by Fear.

Not the immediate reaction of fearing something that jumps out and scares you, but the deep, base Fear that something is going to happen that could interfere with or destroy the microcosm of safety that you live in. The average person (the majority of us) lives in such a microcosm, where they think they have their lives organised so that they know everything that is going to happen and so their life has a 'safe' foundation to it. They simply cannot entertain the thought that something might ever be going to happen that would shatter their microcosm of 'safety'.

This is living in denial. Refusing to examine or talk about all the difficult and dangerous possibilities that face us every day. Refusal to look at the bigger picture of things that might be going to happen, to question how we live and whether there is a better way for each of us.

If you live in this kind of denial, then in effect you are living a lie. If you are not 100% honest with yourself all the time then you are also living a lie and your life becomes an empty shell that will fall easy prey to 'The System of Life'. Your problems are guaranteed to mount, because you cannot see what The System is doing to you whilst you are so immersed in it, as you enable it to hold your life in its vicelike, choking grip.

Your life is the greatest gift you will ever be given, although it may not seem like it sometimes, and letting The System simply take it over without giving so much as a second thought to the fact that it should be You determining how You will live your life, is simply throwing your greatest gift to The System that mankind has created in order to exert control over you.

Those who will not look inside themselves, will not be helped or who will not open their eyes to the reality of themselves in complete honesty will forever stay in the downward spiral of Stress that The System throws at them.

Self-honesty is one of the great keys to unlocking the mystery and finding your way out of the Darkness.
