P-Realization

Author’s note: To be politically correct, it would be better to term this as “Post-Realization” although it was originally coined by a friend in referring to a certain instance. (Again, the Author uses PINK font color for the terms he personally coined, or at the least he thinks he did.

_________________________________________________________________
P-Realization - A sudden realization of something which as been existing or which permeated long enough for most people to notice. This is mostly guided by common sense or basic life experience.
Example:

Hey, I just realized… What if we start thinking before we act? I think that’s a really good idea because it would allow us to act not in an impulsive way.

_________________________________________________________________

These P-Realizations are occurrences we should analyze before expressing because it would save us much shame. By thinking this way, we can also start to reach the root of the problems rather than think of the problem to be the root in itself. There is a limitation to this, however. Since it is something that we do not usually notice by ourselves, we can normally brand P-Realizations through other people looking at the things happening to us. Moreover, this may be caused by personal bias and/or defense mechanisms making them harder to notice and accept.

The goal now is to determine whether or not a realization would be a genuine one, or just a P-Realization.

There is no secret technique to this. In order to be able to see something as it is, we need to learn to detach ourselves from our fears and face the very devil in doing so. One should ask himself these questions:
1. What am I afraid of?

2. What do I do when I face these fears? What usually happens?

3. Why am I so reluctant to face it?

4. What can I do about it?

This is not a sure-fire cure, but this is the best one can do without any expert help.

If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
