Why We Unknowingly Harm Ourselves — And How to Break the Cycle
Nobody wakes up and decides to suffer. Nobody intentionally chooses self-harm. Whatever we do: whether it’s entering a toxic relationship, numbing ourselves with entertainment, tolerating a dead-end job, or drowning in addictions, we do it hoping it will bring some relief, some pleasure, some sense of meaning. Even our worst choices are made in the belief that they’ll somehow help us.
But that’s precisely the problem: we don’t see clearly. We call our compulsions love. We call our conditioning freedom. We call our coping mechanisms healing. What we’re really doing is acting out of ignorance.
