Mind over Matter

One thing I’ve learnt, which I’ve always known from before but I guess knowing is not everything. Denial never works. U cannot deny something that exists. Its like death, you can run but you cant hide. Becoming an ostrich in times of danger is so easy and desirable. Being a lion about it is so so so hard.
Man is lazy by nature, right? That’s what Freud said. And looking at facts and facing your fears is a hard thing. We’re lazy by nature, our first tendency is to go run and hide. But that doesn’t really solve any problems. And I guess mankind has learnt that over the years too. That’s why when something bothers us we’re told to face our problems, look at fear in the eye, take the bull by the horns, etc. Be brave. And that is where our mind comes in. That path might be rougher, tougher and longer, but in the end its the sweetest and the most satisfying.
It is after the heart has made a decision, that the head decides to work for it or go along with it. Head without heart is just a machine. I always used to be on the opposite end of this debate. Not anymore.
