Actualization

It's interesting how we as people, with access to unlimited amounts of knowledge and infinite wisdom, can formulate complete sentences, hold intelligent and stimulating conversations, yet continuously make excuses for why we individually process certain situations, formulating thoughts that develop mechanisms to cope and not comprehend that the very organ used to create this persona or escape, in spite it's wondrous complexity, is the same organ that we have been given free reign power to control. We constantly manipulate ourselves to think that our direct faculties during our development are why we think and process the way we do rather than allowing our mental comprehension to say that we create the thoughts because of our development. I understand that it's easier to place blame or displace guilt on situations and people. It's soothing to temporarily run, hide, and cover up our issues. But when are we going to stand up and take ownership over ourselves and realize that these vices are mere vacations from our realities? A person can either remain in this vacation state allowing inner struggles to conflict their true happiness or face their truths head on and live in actual liberty. We need to understand that the situations we face shouldn't create our thoughts but challenge our way of thinking.
