Learning to face problems

Okay, one thing that pisses me off - people who run from, whine about or otherwise evade their issues.

Of course, everyone is guilty of this - everyone procrastinates to avoid a difficult or annoying task, everyone will occasionally whine about some issue they are having with their life, and every has had issues they have at one point seen as insurmountable.

That is perfectly okay - all of these things are a part of the human condition, a part of being self-aware and sentient.

But there are some people who take this way too far. And it pisses me the fuck off.

Running from problems doesn't solve them - it instead allows them to sit, to rot, to fester until one day it'll come back in one sickening rush.

Whining achieves nothing. It may make some people aware of your issues (which is not a particularly good thing in itself) and gather you some sympathy, but ultimately, nothing will change. Your problem will still be there, making a mess of your life.

If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you have always gotten.

If you have a problem, fight to change it. By this I don't mean a physical punchup - fight your own weakness and stand up and do something. Even if you cannot see how doing anything will help, do it anyway. No problem is a wall so insurmountable that won't begin the crack and crumble if enough pressure is applied.

I used to be one of the people I am currently ranting about. When it came to important things, I was paralyzed, unable to act for the fear of making it worse. It took me a number of years, but eventually I realized that doing nothing is pointless - even when it got worse, nobody could say I hadn't tried, nobody could say that I hadn't stood up and fought to get the ending that I wanted. So I stand, and I fight, and it's worked out pretty well so far.

So take a chance. Get off your stupid, whiny, self-defeating ass and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Because until you do, nothing will change.
