Self-Awareness Versus Self-Absorption

Wednesday, September 6, 2017 5:26

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

One of my sister-in-law’s often says, “Well, you know, 2% never get the message”. What she means is that 2% of the population is totally clueless. I would personally put the number much higher. On a daily basis I am amazed at the lack of self-awareness and knowledge many people have about themselves and what is going on around them. People, especially young people, seem very self-absorbed. If you don’t believe me check out the volume of selfies on social media. What’s ironic is how people can be both self-absorbed yet totally unaware at the same time. While it is true that self-knowledge is the beginning of wisdom, it is equally true that being aware of the world around you and what is going on in that world is also important. I have sometimes been accused of being clueless. The reality is that not much gets past me. Just because I don’t acknowledge everything or comment about everything does not mean I am unaware of it. My senses are like radar. All day long I see and hear many things. The secret, however, is not just to see or hear but to notice and to listen. You can’t live life in a bubble. Learn to be aware and to notice what goes on around you. When a storm is coming my wife will sometimes text our sons. Why? She does it because neither of them routinely watch the news or weather reports. At some point, however, you can’t depend on your mother to tell you to come in out of the rain or to be on the alert for a tornado. People at work sometimes ask me about something and I usually respond, “Did you not read the email”? In many cases they have not. In order to be self-aware and knowledgeable you have to gather information. If you walk around clueless because all of your sensors are turned off, or totally focused on yourself, don’t blame others when you wake up in the Land of Oz because you weren’t aware of the tornado warning.
