Confusion is sometimes a smoke screen of protection and procrastination against what we know we need to do.

Our psyche has so many unconscious ways it tries to protect us from our fears and from pain. Even the experience of being in a state of confusion over something, can be an unconscious attempt at avoidance.

There’s that sense sometimes that a deep part of us knows what we’re going to have to face on some level, and yet somehow perhaps we feel we can gain or stall time by pretending we don’t know… So convincingly, that we genuinely lose clarity, strength and will.
Which in turn is another state of suffering in itself.

Aren’t we strange human creatures 🤔😶‍🌫️🤪
