Coping With The “Cruel World”

Life is all about perspective. Though there are cruel people in the world and bad things can happen to anyone, how you react to any given situation is everything. Coping with almost any situation that is out of your control can almost always be done using only three steps.

Step 1. Grieving

Allow yourself time to acknowledge the negative impact that something has had on your life and permit yourself to feel sad (and) or angry about the situation.

Bottling up those feelings will only cause them to arise inconveniently at a later date. Once you allow yourself time to process these emotions and why you may have them, you will feel as though a weight has been lifted from your consciousness.

Everyone grieves differently but be mindful of the time that you commit to doing so; This decreases the risk of being consumed by the negative emotions that you are feeling. Keep in mind that this time you are giving yourself is necessary for emotional growth and to gain mental clarity. If there is something you can do to change the situation, it is much easier to solve a problem while you are calm and collected.

Step 2. Acceptance

You must realize that there is no way of changing the situation or if there is, no immediate solution can be put into action. The process of acceptance in terms of coping should primarily consist of coming to terms with the fact that what happened has in fact happened but only the present and future are of the utmost importance.

This is not to say that you should take the situation lightly; Grieving often revolves around feelings of past shame and sometimes even regret. Acceptance of the situation and the immediate changes that it may have brought with it is best done sooner rather than later. The more difficult it is for you to accept the situation, the greater the risk of feeling as though you are forced to repeat step 1 and the five stages of grief. Reaching the acceptance stage can be made easier by doing research about the five stages of grief and learning about each one as you work through them at your own pace.

Step 3. Reflection

This step can also be referred to as “critical thinking.” What can you take away from the situation? This is the question you should ask yourself while officially getting back into your daily routine. If the situation has called for immediate changes to be made, use this time to identify exactly what they are and the actions you plan to take.

Generally speaking, the unfairness that takes place in the world is a product of some parts of society’s way of thinking and general way of life. Unless it affects you directly or in the form of some sort of tragedy, all you can really do is confide in the ones that you love and always strive to protect them from such treatment and events. Try not to let the empathy you have for others and their situations interfere with your day-to-day life.
