Our whole conditioning, our parents, our society, and our culture support us in doing anything and everything to avoid or numb out the pain in our hearts and in our souls. We would rather turn to intoxicants, painkillers, or sedatives than face the wound. And if these avoidance strategies seem too extreme, then food, entertainment, texting, and Internet surfing can become acceptable substitutes. If we’re lucky, these strategies are a temporary measure, like a Band-Aid. If we’re even luckier, they’ll stop working altogether and the wound will be exposed. Once that occurs, the search for wholeness can become more conscious.
