Greener Pastures Can be Foggy Swamps - (3199)

When we see something in anti-thesis we don't see the reality of what we are looking at.

So what does that mean? I'll give you an example.

Say we are unhappy with something or someone, then naturally we begin to look for everything that that thing or that person is not. If we are unhappy with a group for example because the leader is too rigid and generally the members are not very sociable then we will look for a group with a flexible leader and friendly welcoming members.

When we look at something in anti-thesis to another thing we stop seeing the reality of the new thing or person we are looking at.


Going back to the group example, when we are looking at this new group because it is the the opposite of the group we are in at the moment and are not enjoying, we easily overlook the fact that it does not have clear goals and its methods and techniques are somewhat lacking. 

Couples do this, friends, employees do this and this is a kind of illusion that often is broken too late after some regretful action has taken place.

A man in a relationship may look at an lady outside of the relationship and because the outside lady does what his wife does not do, seeing the outside lady in this way is a mistake, because he is not seeing the reality of the outside that she may for example, have yellow teeth, be full of financial debt, have weird egos and smoke. 

End (3199).
