Weakness or Strength?
发表于: 2008-5-15 15:23 作者: 天心月圆 来源: 『原版英语』
What do you think? Should it be considered as weakness, or a paticular manifestation of inner strength of the person who is brave enough to face up to himself?

According to Soren Kierkegaard,mental illness originates from the inner absolute desperate, which he defined as the act of refusing to be oneself because of the fear of death.

agreeYour point of view is both reasoning and reasonable. A tough person, from my perspective, is the one who is able to face up to his shortcomings and weakness with exceptional bravery and more admirably tries every means to eliminate them. People with strong will can afford to reveal their disadvantages without hiding any of them, deriving self-confidence and renewing their mental strength from within. A weak person, however, chooses to avert his eye from his weakness and go to any length to disguise himself with a fig leaf, let alone trying to solve them. Therefore, they are prone to loathe psychiatric treatment in fear of exposing their defects -----their so-called “privacy”. But ignoring antinomies will never end up with eliminating antinomies, and ignoring weakness and averting psychiatrists would only confirm weakness to the point.
A truly strong person never ceases to pursue self-improvement for he is conscious of the fact that no one is born capable,faultless and perfect. They spare no efforts to discover, expose and analyze imperfections in any way possible. Seeking for psychiatric help when they feel necessary is a good example confirming that they belong to the category that are willing to improve themselves as much as possible, and will never regard it as a shame or humiliation. Conversely, those who tragically lack the sense of building a renewing self and fulfilling themselves will hardly realize the importance of psychiatry as a tool to assist them.

Have you ever experienced the frustrated feeling when you are refused by others, especially in the occasion that you want to show your kindness and love for them, yet get the return of cold face? What is the first thought and feeling that come up in your mind? I remembered that there were lots of times when I got this response I would like to give up, yet the second thought always tagged along: there would be nothing for me to lose and love asks for no return. Here is a question I asked myself many times: why should one improve himself? why should I improve myself when improving seems impossible? Because what I see about myself is that I am a person who is inclined to escape from weakness, to hide it from others in order to protect myself from hurting. As soon as I am hurt, hatred would come out from the deep side of my heart.I don't know if you study the psychology in college, but there is a theory:
Desire and possibility of success are the two major factor that can decide one to act. If a person really want to get something yet the possiblilty of successfully getting it is very low, he probably would not take action. If a person's desire to get it is very low, he would not too. If I am not wrong, this theory is called "Behaviour Expectation Theory".
So here is my question, if one thinks improving himself is meaningless, would he still be able to reveal his weaknesses instead of trying to protect himself from the outside world?
Or why would a person have the feeling of hurt, or why any other person can hurt him?

IF you cann't deal with it youself,then ask for psychartry help.
It dosen't have any relation with the choices wether you are weak or strong.

Definitely, seeking help from psychiatrists should not be dispised or judged. Afterall, we are human with feelings, we laugh, we cry, we are happy, we are upset. Seeking help from psychiatists is posive action to face yourself instead of negleclting. Every person suffer from pressure in this day-by-day developing socitey, and every person has his own way to deal with pressure. And resort to psychiatrists is absolutely a good way.But there is a strange phenomena,4or5decades ago, psychiatrists are rare,people seldom whine about dayily life.Aparently, the pressure is growing fastly...
But, who put these pressure on us, what cause our pressure.
That is a question.
When u asked the person surrounding u, what's their final goal of life? Most may say"well-piad job, health body, happy family", of course, some may say"self-realization, achivement in his/her career", the goals of the first type seem simple and easy to realize, the later one maybe more difficult .However, why those people with simple goal are puzzled by life?
