I found this article called “Comfort Lies,” by Aman Motwane, which is about our craving for comfort: our need and desire to hear comforting, reassuring words,  instead of facing up to the reality of things.

Here’s a quote from it, “. . .  face what you need to face and do what you need to do.”

I love this article because it gives such good advice. Avoidance of “what is,”  means we’re not fully accepting the reality we have brought to ourselves; basically, it means we’re deluded, living in fantasy.

Yet, the  more we face up to and accept ”what is,” right now, the more the light of our awareness heals the difficult situation.  Our refusal to face something or someone always  holds us in that situation or relationship, just as  our avoidance of something or someone,  will ensure it keeps on recurring or returning. 

The website  that the article “Comfort Lies,”  is  published on,  is www.alive.com.  Ms. Motwane has apparently written a book entitled, “WhenYou Change How You See The World, Your Whole World Changes.”  Exactly right: perception is everything. Although I’ll have to add my two pence on that subject another day!

Go on. Have a read.
