"我们的思想有一种惊人的能力来不面对最不舒服的真相"
— Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Simplified Meaning:
Our brains are good at ignoring things that make us feel uneasy. Imagine a person who always spends more money than they earn. Even if their credit card bills keep getting bigger, they might choose not to think about it. This way, they can keep buying things and feel happy for a while. But eventually, their debt becomes too big to ignore, causing stress and problems. In everyday life, people can avoid big issues, like health problems or relationship troubles, because thinking about them is scary or stressful. For example, knowing you need to exercise but always finding reasons not to means you’re avoiding an uncomfortable truth. But once you face the problem, you can start to fix it, like creating a budget or setting a daily workout plan. This ability of the mind can protect us from immediate stress, but dealing with the hard truths can help us live a healthier and more balanced life.
