Could Denial be another cause of death of expats?

He is longing for that feminine touch, yes, your very touch that make him weak and motionless. Carefully take him by his shoulders raise your eyes slowly and fix them on his eyes. Be sure to leave some ten strands of hair dangling over your left eye, he will be prompted to remove the hair from your face, this time you close your eyes gently and part you lips. Don’t say anything, start trembling, ooh yes it’s time to get breathless, and don’t obstruct his hands that are searching for your waist, he wants to wrap you in his arms. That safe hold of you that make you feel like your breast is creating distance between you, you’re too feeble to rub your nipples on his chest, raise your chin and twist your neck alittle, kiss him. Kiss him slowly and passionately. Bring together all the smoothness and tenderness you ever had as you kiss him. Touch his face, play with his necklace, don’t open your eyes, if the kiss should last seven hours, lay there and love the sensation. Hallelujah. Hosanna. Okay, you are having lack of family and institutional support stress.
I don’t have statistics on how many people have financial stress, so if you are one of them do not feel targeted. Instead be encouraged that you are not alone. Your battle to create a more peaceful life for yourself is choked with money stress, you so many times cannot justify the decade you spent here in the name of looking for money. You simply cannot point that bank account or that project that is guzzling your finances, same way there is no scarcity of reasons why you shouldn’t go dizzy with money stress,,, I mean there is always something happening in town, international celebrities come to the swimming pool in the seven star hotel here and you are expected to pay gems in pool entrance to view their designer physiques, surely, you that needs a fundraiser to pay bride-price spends equivalent of three cows to takes photos of a woman who is readily accessible on the internet complete with her sex videos? Just go and sit yourself down, you verily need wise-o-therapy!
Religious stress that you have not openly discussed with anybody. You may never open up on this following sudden rise of massacre of a religious minority; ooh did you say you will celebrate Christmas that is only a day away? I have an idea, let’s all work eighteen-hour shifts on this day, let’s all grab work from its butt and forget to thank God the far he has brought us in celebration of our professionalism. Don’t be mad if you are misclassified as an absentee in faith, since you are not even consistent in your night-clubbing religion. Never mind, nothing is structured anyway.
Today I provoke your denial. Yes you are in denial. You stay there to give yourself time to adjust to the bitter truth. You hate anybody who openly talks about this issues and label them prophets of stress. Well, you have the right to believe that something is either true or not, same way the right to protect yourself by refusing to accept the truth. What exactly should trigger the desired change in your life? Why don’t you start dealing with issues that require action instead of engaging in emotional conflict?
As humans we experience multifaceted sensations, such as desire, greed, pride, revenge, need for status, humiliation as well as denial of reality. Our social status as publicly-seen person may mean admitting to lots of factual limitations concerning our lives. Ability to ignore facts directly in front of our eyes is our modern day disaster. The overall societal progress is when the majority can control their emotions and makes sober decisions based on previous experiences or atleast not fight to cover the truth. Inject energy into changing that stressful or embarrassing situation instead of being impulsive and stubborn. Reality may feel constricting but it does not mean denial rules.
You refuse to acknowledge both problems and their solutions, you ruminate yourself vulnerable and your sense of control is constantly threatened; you are among the most anxious people alive today and believe that denying is a fix to all this issues. You get agitated anytime the subject comes up, but remain in the audience to listen then boo at the speaker. Another chronic denial that you were born to listen to others. You hate the people that remind you to address them, and I know you are escaping consequences of that situation which will find its way to you anyway.
The same reasoning process applies to a thousand different kinds of situations, when you decide to go on a date with someone who’s married, or choose to have unprotected sex with people after you are confirmed HIV positive, or even commonly how you spend your money, denying this facts keep you moving rather than stopping and facing the painful restriction and demands of reality. Shutting down all voices of sanity that remind you the truth and dealing ruthless with the people who scream facts again is not a fix. The unchallengeable fact about denial is that it does not work and so reality always wins.
What could be healthier than acculturating to repression? Present socioeconomic and health outcomes indicate you are a friend. ‘Friend’ to the economic growth which makes the essence of the firsthand observations I have summarized here. As you are happy that the employment opportunities favor you, you should wonder why the system currently attracts relatively unskilled labor. Am saying you are unskilled. Or do you have the chance to attain monetary equivalence with the natives? My condolences to the workers who have been molested and even lost their lives in the process of denying that all is unwell.
This is not your preparation kit for facing the truth, neither is it a manual on how to bring in the open your certified occupational secrets. To emerge a stronger person especially if you live abroad, first you must start with living an honest life. Nothing beats clear conscience. The same people that jeer at facts are the same ones whose pillows are stinking from crying in darkness. Stop the pretense! You are better than being the first person to throw a bottle from the crowd while you are the most affected. You still wonder why nobody comes to your rescue when you need them most? They don’t know you earn under 300$. Be clear on this one too to avoid the lifetime ransoms funda wewe. Your friends only care about camouflaged life provided they gain from it; your enemies do not even realize you have a mask on until three of your colleagues die from the construction site and you are sole witness. Kwisha.
