Denial

"Haters are fans in denial"
- Adam Rippon

Although it is a common misconception, ostriches do not actually bury their heads in the sand to avoid predators. It only appears that ostriches do this in the wild, leading to the denial metaphor used today to describe a person who is ignoring reality.

Horse Blinders

Another way to describe people who choose to ignore the sometimes harsh realities of life is that they are wearing horse blinders. In real life, horse blinders are used in horse racing in order to prevent the horse or horses from seeing other horses around them which could scare them. Sometimes people are said to have horse blinders when ignoring their surroundings so that their personal daily lives are not affected or altered.

The Shoes of Empathy

It is very easy to judge others without ever attempting to understand them or their plight. It takes very little effort to not care, and for many of us it is the easy way out. The more noble path is difficult since it requires us to place ourselves metaphorically in other peoples' shoes in order to better understand them and their situation. 'To walk in their shoes' in order to inspire empathy, understanding and compassion, for some of those shoes have taken tens of thousands of steps and traversed thousands of miles for a taste of so called Freedom.

Illustrated photos I like the image of the ostrich. They represent a lot of the reality of society.
Thank you for sharing @streetstyle

Hi @ streetstyle We have to understand what people is passing before talk about them or make any judgment, i know many people that ignore the real life and just see the life from their high chair that's awful because there is not a better way to solve problem of any town that sharing time with people. Regards

Thank you for enriching me in knowledge and the explanation is superbly great to understand this with meme as well.

Awesome! Right, this is the true fact of life. Interesting info!!

Great inspiring article.. @streetstyle . I believe that life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like

Excellent review and all the examples you give very correctly reflect the principle of life of some people! Thank you @streetstyle

Sometimes in life if we don't face the scariest of our fears they may still continue to haunt us, I'm other words, in my opinion I dont think humans need horse blinders, they need to see their enemies, face them and fight them to finish.
This is really beautiful, I enjoyed reading

One of the harshest things we learn in life is the fact that it’s not built out of pretty butterflies, surrounded by pink cozy blankets and topped with a hot cup of sweet cocoa waiting for you. Some find out about this sooner, some later, but in the end everyone gets that kick in the head from the ruthless thing called REALITY.
People don’t want to think about the rough things in life. We don’t like to think or talk about death, separation, loss, hunger, depression, or even environmental disasters. We believe that by speaking of them, we are going to open some kind of Pandora’s box which we won’t be able to handle, nor close. The important fact that we seem to be missing is that you can’t accept or understand something you don’t think about.

Cool metaphor phrases...
Didn't know about the horse blinders..

You are right, the reality in our life is such that sometimes it is easier to ignore it, but no matter how much we leave it, we will have to accept it and live with it!

True
Denial sucks and the ostrich metaphor suits it perfectly

@streetstyle Sir, I agree you and your memes. Those memes are showing us some real fact of our society and life.
I really liked them and their hidden logic.
Thanks for sharing something unique and great with us.

Oh dear @streetstyle, i'm again gladed to see your another greatfull post. really this is excellent articl's used. I have enjoyed your whole words. I support you.
Thanks for your perfect share.

Very correct memes and they are completely, confirm your thoughts about reality, which sometimes does not please us at times, but I think that we all need to think about this.

Yeah , you say right.
Its really true fact of our life.
Its happen all around to us.
We shoud care about these.
Thanks for your valuable post @streetstyle

It is damn true, You said so

Excellent memes @streetstyle and your reasoning lifestyle in the field are suitable for many, that of course to think about everything about our lives!

Broad minded people dont judge a person easily . But narrow minded people who cant think properly judge others by looking at their appearance, their gesture, expression etc..instantly. Judging people instantly without knowing them and understanding them properly is totally wrong. People our judged irrespective of their gender,though women our judged more . People are judged mostly by their appearance eg. A woman who wears short skirts are judged to be characterless and a man who dresses up like a swag is judged to be a jerk, playboy etc. People judge others by their behaviour eg. A girl or a boy who talks or mingles with the opposite sex alot is considered to be characterless. Women and men are stereotyped like this and this stereotypes have been registered in our minds and thus people keeping all this in mind judge others. Its sad to know that even well educated people judge others without knowing anything. People should be a little broadminded and not judge a person immediately, instead should try to understand the person and their situation . A man who shows anger is considered to be a very rude and heartless person ,he is judged immediately but he could have had a past that made him like that, a wise man understands this and doesnt judge him , instead he tries to understand the person deeply and help him out . Its very wrong to come to a conclusion about a person before knowing him completely.

This meme was showing that people are ignoring reality.
Someone said
"You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality."
Yeah it's true !

Intresting post man ..

Freedom is power .... freedom is important coz it leads to enhanced expression of creativity, our thought...... actually... high quality of life ....your article is excellent...

Bereh 👍 lon setuju peu yang droe peugah rakan @streetstyle

Everyone has their own way of living this life. So also with other living things such as animals and plants.

Lagak that gamba jih. Gamba nyan ka peugot keudroe pue ta gob ka cok?

Whatever happens we still have to be sincere in living this life. Is not it so @streetstyle?

Life is cruel when we are down. But this life is wonderful when our lives are happy.

Life is sometimes weird. Nevertheless we still have to live it.

Jroh, hana lawan. Maju aju

Totally agree with it
It is very easy to judge others without ever attempting to understand them or their plight.
personal experience also

Good morning @streetstyle, I think our alrrededor is difficult to ignore, we all need everyone, what happens is some people prefer solitude, for something that happened to them, they no longer trust easily in anything or anyone.
Happy day :)

Hi @streetstyle,
without haters you are out😜, same if people stop gossip about you, so look that they have always something to talk😜
Best regards and a nice day
Tom

Even if you’re feeling like you’re drowning in your sadness, you’re somehow able to turn this into a joke!!!
