Facing Reality

Knowing that something must be done and knowing what must be done are two very different things. Having admitted that I can recognize the obvious, I beg only to confess that I do not chose that which I know. Such a choice would involve some difficult questions. No. The greater need is to find those to whom such questions could be shared. I've discussed these matters with myself for too many years already. The problem is both that I struggle alone and that I am left alone to struggle.
Some hear the word, "struggle" as a sad word. "I am sorry to hear that you are struggling." Others hear the word almost heroically. "I admire the tenacity with which you struggle." My only real commitment to myself is to view life heroically. Hence I am more frustrated about not being a skilled struggler than I am about having struggles.
Interesting the predicaments our frames on reality create for us. We might best be served by facing this reality first.
