The Road Less Travelled by Scott Peck

It is about getting better...

The reality is that life is hard.   We often practice denial or running away from this.

The book teaches responsibility.   You must accept responsibility.   It does not happen in instant, easy society.  

Oftentimes, some psychiatric problems and crimes happen because of denial, because or escape from reality -  life is hard.  Stealing is resorted to because one does not want to work hard;  one murders because it is hard to understand the other person.   So with psychiatric disorders, schizophrenia, catatonia are body's defense vs difficulties in life

Thus we lie as a defense.  

Dale Carnegie mentions that criminals seldom admit to their crimes.   A person can not degrade himself.

Thus the mandate is for us to work hard, even harder.   Just to survive and exist.  

Are we escaping reality?   Are we guilty of Scott Peck's thesis

Accepting reality - life is hard

It is about getting better...

Nothing in the world is easy.  Nothing in the world is free.  Do not expect a sugar coated world like Pollyana

Scott Peck outlined this in the book, "The Road Less Taken".  He outlined crimes and pathologies arising from the wrong belief that life is easy.  The Scriptures say taht from our sweat comes our daily bread.  Not from Manna in heaven

When there is an acceptance, no denial, we mature, and gain strength and resilience in facing the world, especially business challenges.   As they say in quotes, the challenges, the hardships are meant to make us tougher and more resilient _ we become better leaders and better business managers

Thus ,pantawid program destroys peoples initiative to work and survive.  My wife says that when our infants fell, they need it to learn how to stand on their own. Thus even birds push off their birdlings off the nest to learn how to fly and fend for themselves.

Unto each life, some rain must fall.,,,
