So here I am, after having written a week's worth of short articles on the value of awareness in maintaining health here on the Healthy Living DIY blog ...
And having written a somewhat longer article about a specific type of lapsed awareness that leaves individuals vulnerable to illness and our nation open to international resentment (read Commitment, Charity, and America-Bashing.)
And I'm listening to a CD set (The Bulletproof Mind) by LtCol Dave Grossman. He's addressing a group of law enforcement officers about how the body responds to extreme stress. And Grossman says, ...
... (I'm paraphrasing here) "When it comes to self-defense, the #1 strategy that most people in our culture rely on is the strategy of denial. And denial has no survival value."
"No survival value." That is a direct quote.
What was LtCol Grossman telling his audience? That you have to maintain awareness of what's really going on in order to make it in this world. Not to thrive, as most of us would like to. But simply to survive.
Huh.
Good point, isn't it?
Let's just all ponder that one for a bit.
