The complex mind

It is, without a doubt, my dears, the most interesting part of life, to stand and stare.  The minutiae of life really is quite fascinating if one is remotely interested in humanity, and there is much, dear souls, to observe. One subscribes to the theory of Carl Rogers and unconditional positive regard in one's fields of contact, nurturing the characteristics in others that are believed to form the five aspects of a fully functioning individual. As with much in humanity, it is rarely a smooth path, which can test the positive regard of many an individual. The self concept of those being nurtured is influenced by life experience and the interpretation of those experiences which can be influenced by many things, which, in turn, lead to the states of congruence or incongruence. Over many years, I have been most fortunate to have been in a position to be able to observe humanity at its best, and its worst, forming a sound knowledge and experience of how communities of people interact. Acknowleding the potential for being an understatement worthy of jest is stratospheric, but simple facts are facts; humans are complex and the direction we aim to achieve is that which directs us toward the good life. 
Sadly, the many influencing stressors we meet along the way can detract from the direction of achievement. A safe haven in which to explore and learn is vital, however, needs but one incongruent defender to threaten it's existence, to create an altogether different environment. The ability to step back and see the bigger picture when aiming for the good life is a rare thing, but one that is a large part of self actualisation. How humans do suffer over the complexities of simple theories of nature or nurture, rarely understanding the basic concept of solid foundations in psychological growth; many unable, or unwilling, to scale the complexity of the human psyche, fully grasp those characteristics that create self actualisation for themselves, nor nurture it for others. It is an exhausting business, dear souls, dealing with the mind and body of those one comes into contact with, for they are many and varied. 

Thankfully, one can ride the peaks and troughs of life's rich tapestry and still see the good in humanity. One is all to grateful for the love of one's family and the solid foundations this has allowed one to create. Rest and recuperation are a most vital practice and one that, to maintain one's sanity, is religiously planned. The joy of attaining one's personal safe haven and utilising every moment to re-evaluate and rebalance cannot be stressed enough. 

"Life is simple, the complexities within it have to do with the motive of the human being/s" resounds in all but a few walks in life. Human beings, that complex cohesion of cells creating life, as we know it.
