The statements around meditation / inner reflection seem to make some false assumptions about the nature of the practice (apparently the writer does not meditate, therefore may not be entirely qualified to assert such presumptions)

"Meditating in avoidance" is an oxymoron and this would not be meditation by definition. Meditation and mindfulness are the practice of observing reality without reacting instinctively, in order to discern the reality outside of the meditators own judgements - this is not the same thing as passive denial of reality, nor avoidance of taking action, but to the contrary, taking a position for clearminded action with integrity.
