How to Handle Delusion.

How to handle delusion? Face, accept, and stare at reality so hard that everyone will think you are a stalker. I hate delusions only because I am always imagining myself in a perfect place where everything is going perfectly for me. But this is nothing else except a form of escaping from my own shitty situations to Narnia. The problems of reality grows never-endingly larger the more you ignore them. Escaping to a better place in your mind only stalls the problem until it is so big you can’t ignore it. 

Okay! Excellent! Now I won’t drown in delusions anymore! Hmm... No. This problem is gargantuan and it is not disappearing any time soon. Why? Because it is natural for the mind to think of a better situation when your present situation is not ideal. So that means you are only trying to imagine what you desire to be in the now or in the future. But we can’t change our realities with the snap of the fingers. We are not Thanos.

I, for example, am drowning in debt. So it is natural that I drown myself in an illusion where I am debt-ridden, have money to spare, and start enjoying my life to the fullest. But that isn’t happening any time soon. So that illusion becomes a delusion. Nothing but an escapade to ignore my present situation in favor of the land of make-believe. This is a bullshitty situation of my own machinations. But enough of that. This blog is for helping people in general in handling bullshit. Even if that bullshit comes from your mind.

Okay, so handling this. The second sentence of the first paragraph. To achieve this, you need one thing. The magical piece of knowledge called Awareness. Be aware of yourself, be aware of your surroundings and be aware of your reality. But most important of all, try to be more happy with your reality. Even if things are not perfect, always remember, they could worsen. Furthermore, most of the time, happiness is not that far from us.
