Reality

There are some things that are absolutely true, at least in this world. Gravity, for instance. Night. Hunger. The future generation.

Sure you can wish them away, but you can’t get rid of them. You can find ways to temporarily override them – aeroplanes, light bulbs, food – but they remain.

When we can’t override reality, it can be painful, like when we reacquaint ourselves with gravity or hunger. And we can be angry at reality, but it won’t get rid of it. In fact, anger won’t even override it.

Just like Paedophilia can't be wished away. It is a reality.

And as I read on Onrustig, we can even turn our heads and look the other way, like we do when we see a hungry/lonely street child. But in reality they won't disappear just because we try not to focus on them.

Focus your attention on making the best of reality, rather than cursing it or wishing it away. In fact, stop for a moment and imagine what your life would be like if you did wish gravity away.

Reach out and take hold of reality. It is staring you in the face. Do something!
