Understanding our psyches

Some people may not agree with what I have to say or even how I say it but I don't concern myself with it since I never have ill intent. I consider my writing self-reflection and exploration which always tries to get to the bottom of things. Truth is what interests me the most but it can sometimes perturb us with its bluntness.

Once we understand the human condition it's easier to see the mechanics of how people function. Love and fear are what motivate us most and we will find ways to feast on misplaced versions of both; often to our own detriment. Fear of rejection is among our worst concerns which often implies that authenticity be jettisoned.

If we can get to the root of our own psychology which begins to be formed in childhood we can find ways to live more peacefully by treating any underlying issues. Whatever errors our parents made must be forgotten and we must mature into stable people who recognize their own flaws and mental triggers. Obfuscation never does us any favors even if it can feel good for a time not to delve deeply into our psyches.

Humans exist with mythology around many issues. Most of it was acquired during our upbringing and the rest was invented by us to avoid inconvenient truths we don't want to face. However no one is born flawed no matter what anyone says.

Becoming truly ourselves demands we live with much less fear and concern regarding what other people think (this one was my challenge). Once there we can fix the rest of our issues with much more patience and reserve.
