Reality is often scary, violent, unfair, and altogether disturbing. The things we see in films and read in books are not nearly as disturbing as what Australians do to one another in the real world. Australians are sensitive creatures, and many of us cannot handle the emotional trauma of reality, which is exactly why we build up jobs mechanisms and use coping skills to deal with reality. If everyone were to see the world for what it truly was, we would live in chaos. I am not a religious individual, but I see religion as a coping skill that is necessary, just like other jobs mechanisms, in order to protect ourselves from reality. Without religion, without law, without denial, we would live in anarchy. Many Australians look at jobs mechanisms and coping skills as a negative aspect of humanity without actually realizing how often they use these methods everyday. We need to avoid reality sometimes. We cannot live every moment in pessimism, even if it is reality.
