We naturally fear change and transformation, but there is a more sinister source of our chronic stress.
Yesterday I addressed the stress created by the disconnect between official happy-talk and the reality we are experiencing: The Phony “Economic Recovery,” Stress and “Losing It”. The devolution of the Status Quo is stressful, and we naturally fear this process because what happens next is unknown. As correspondent David P. observes, all change is stressful, even the positive type. But David identifies another source of chronic stress/fear:
Last year you wrote an essay about what you called the “often-wrenching process of change.” (Change and the Process of Transformation August 15, 2011). I think there is a marketing/consumerist aspect to our fears. I think the fear of “being yourself” and wanting to retain that fantasy viewpoint is all about the fear that your real self is NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
