Denial- an escape to reality

Although humans has the unique ability to overcome even the most unimaginable tragedy, there are however some key factors that shape our way of coping with adversities!

As we grow up and gain experiences our mindset could be in parallel with those things that we've gone through.

The way we were raised can also have a major impact on how we will face troublesome events later in life.

The kind of environment we were exposed to is another factor on how you will be able to handle unacceptable circumstances sooner or later.

How do we cope up with the harsh reality of life?

One of the most common emotional mechanism that we manifest in the face of tragedy is DENIAL.

For some, denial serves as a shock absorber that protects them from the harshest truth of reality. Although this "shock absorber" is temporary, it will prepare them to deal with reality later. Although the timeframe as to when they are ready to face reality is un certain, denial will be their fortress from the effects of an unfortunate reality.

But there are those who believe that denial is the worst kind of lie.

It is the worst kind of lie because you will not be able to look for the true answers anywhere unless you accept the truth. You are also depriving yourself of the truth. And in delaying to face the truth there is this huge risk of not being able to accept it all, posting a life long not so normal psychological and emotional condition.

No one can surely say that they are ready to face the harsh reality of life no matter how ready they say they are.

Why?

We can't surely say that we are ready to face adversities in life because we are not endowed with the power to know what tragedies tomorrow have for us!

We are not even sure if we are still alive tomorrow!

So is it bad to be in denial?

Which ever way we look at it, one thing is certain, being in denial is not bad. It just means that you are either haven't been made aware of the truth or it is just that you are not that prepared to face the truth!
