Dr. Webb says that life is so full of complications and confusion that humans oftentimes find it hard to cope. This leads to people throwing themselves in front of trains and spending all their money and not speaking to their relatives and never going home for Christmas and never eating anything with chocolate in it.Life, he says, doesn't have to be so bad all the time. We don't have to be so anxious about everything. We can just be. We can get up, anticipate that the day will probably have a few good moments and a few bad ones, and then just deal with it. Take it all in and deal as best as we can.
Dr. Webb reflects on the complexities of life that often lead to overwhelming feelings and destructive behaviors. He highlights how individuals might react to confusion and pressure by engaging in harmful actions, such as isolating themselves from loved ones or neglecting their own wellbeing. This illustrates the struggle many face in managing anxiety and coping with life's challenges.
However, Dr. Webb offers a more hopeful perspective, suggesting that life doesn't have to be a perpetual struggle. He emphasizes the importance of embracing both the good and the bad moments as they come, encouraging us to experience life fully without being bogged down by anxiety. By adopting this mindset, we can approach each day with a more balanced outlook, allowing us to navigate through the ups and downs with resilience.
