When I was in school we had a class where we told about different maniacs. I remember these horror stories how maniacs used to break people psychologically so that they could order their captives to hang one another while maniacs were simply watching. These people could have easily killed this maniac, but they were mentally broken. Just like population of Russia - population of broken people blindly executing orders of few sadistic maniacs. A few months ago they were all political experts "everything is not as clear cut as it seems!" And it turns out that it was after all very direct and clear, but we refused to believe what we see. Soviet philosopher Merab Mamardashvili aka Georgian Socrates talked about it in his extensive talks. He said it all almost 70 years ago, but we cannot see, we're blind to reality until we get punched real hard into our face by it. Hope. So much romantic BS is said about hope! I say that hope is curtain that blocks the view of the reality. You do not see things as they are because you hope that everything will turn out the way you want. Hope is a delusion. If you feel reality is starting to get "aggressive" to you it's time re-examine the frameworks you use to judge world. How do you feel reality that starting to get "aggressive" to you ? Catch yourself when you begin to complain about something, when you feel like you cannot change something or someone. Think "Why am I complaining?" Don't ignore it or push it aside, listen to your inner voice. Your intuition could be sending you other signals like you get irritable for no good reason. Do not drown your inner voice with alcohol or narcotics! If you are still alive then it's not too late to face the reality and make the right decision.
