Disappointments, frustrations, negative experiences and defences...

The first negative experience in our lives is our birth. Coming from the serenity, the quiescence, the ideal environment and the security of the amniotic sac,
we suddenly find ourselves in an obscure environment, hostile, unfriendly, full of noises and so many harsh lights. At this juncture we may understand that this is just the beginning.
The defences that we need to use against the frustrations, the disappointments and the repressed yearnings, are stratagems which impede the development of stress and internal tension
and create a safety shield against the agonising life experiences.
Each individual according to his/her personality uses different defence mechanisms.
The healthier mechanism is the one with which we fulfill our drives (urges, appetites, desires, needs, impulses, instincts) via socially acceptable activities.

Athletics for example is a means which helps through the good sportsmanship to overcome the anger and the disappointment that derives from the adversities that are inevitable in our live's course.

The social contribution also can activate the emotion and assist in the soul's serenity through the impulsion to offer.

The activities related to nature and nature's magnificence can lighten our spirit and beat fear off, as the miracles that are happening come to our attention, we come closer to the Divine.

And ultimately whichever mechanism should we use we should at first be thinking also the "textbook" saying that should we be living a traumatic experience at the turn of the road hope is shining...
