Why Do People Choose To Be Unaware?

Consciousness can be complex, but then, you can simply deem it to be a state of "awareness". Truth is, the lack of awareness is why we have so many societal issues and people reacting indifferently to these issues. A lot of people focus so much on getting knowledge, education and all the degree in the world, but at the end of the day they're ignorant and uneducated about the most important things in life.

Sometimes we need to take it upon ourselves to be cognizant of the ills in the world, even if we might not really be in a position for to solve these ills, being in a constant state of awareness helps us understand the state of our reality and the realities of others as well.

Now Why do we even need to care about the realities of others? This is because our whole lives are interwoven, we mostly thrive or do better having people to call on. One of the main reasons why we tend to flourish is to know people who would share our goals and aspirations

However, when you choose not to be totally aware of people, you might find it difficult to get the best out of them. Irrespective of the fact that the potentials of people might lie in their strongest point, some people actually requires a thorough seeking into their innermost fears to actually discover the better part of them.

Like it or not, some are languishing in the fear, some others are caught up on the web of disbelief, they're overwhelmed by life and find it difficult to discover their passion, their identity and personality.

For example, a nagging boss creates miscommunication between them and their workers, their inability to appreciate the little efforts of their workers, creates a feeling of disbelief within these workers who would basically feel that no matter how hard they thrive, they won't still be able to satisfy their boss.

As humans, a little sense of awareness and gratitude brings an extra strength to even a dying person. On a bad day, a productive person would find it difficult to become productive. It could be that they have mental, psychological or even health issues and these are stumbling blocks that make it difficult for people to function.

To bring out the best in people, you need to understand their weaknesses in other to understand what is really holding them back. In essence, a lot of people never basks in their weaknesses or failings because these are part of them that are deemed unacceptable, as a result of this, people who live their lives cognizant of their frailties at all time, finds it father difficult to seek for their strong suits because already, they have formed a salient personality built mostly on their frailties.

Not everyone can see beyond their frailties and that is why we need one another to awaken us out of our different quagmires. I like to say that, some people have been lucky in life. They're healthy, financial stable and have the right kind of people at their beck and call. You see, the whole element of luck is built on not having to be totally deserved of everything one gets.

Some gets to see the fair side of life, other gets to see the challenging side. Most times the former is hardly aware of what reality is about simply because their exposure has gone beyond the most difficult reach of life. This is why we have to understand people to actually relate with them. Life might be a burden to the degree of our efficiency and I feel that we don't even need to communicate our frailties before others can comprehend us. However, this is the opposite of what reality is.

People would actually need to go through the experiences of others in other to understand what these people are really going through, which would them create a state of awareness to that particular condition. But this isn't ideal, we shouldn't have to experience the pain of others to actually relate to their ailing, this makes us indifferent towards their struggles.

Truth is, we become mindless zombies when we cannot show empathy. I've met many in the course of my life journey who have shut out their hearts to the awareness, the willful understanding and dive into the challenges of others, because they're in positions where they hardly know what real pain feels like.

A lot of people are unaware of what is really happening in life, they just live a life of indifference, making no impact and never understanding how to feel true passion and concern for others. I have an aunt who had a little health situation, and she was wailing and wishing to die. It felt funny because she hadn't known pain all her life, she's seen people like me who has been experiencing unadulterated pain for a really long time, but because it wasn't her who was going through it, she chose to be mindless about it, until she began to experience it.

This is how the world currently is. A lot of people are clueless because they feel it doesn't concern them. But I feel that we need to actually tap into the frailties of people to be aware, to be grateful and to also bring out the best in them.
