\"glass<\/a><\/p>\n

I was recently thinking about a glass half full as a starting point to address wellness and optimism. But I want to consider the whole frame. A glass half full<\/em> hides its obverse and clearly apparent negative, that of a glass half empty, and vice versa. Fueled on an unmitigated diet of optimism, one can certainly seize the day. Carpe diem! But to live every day like this is to deny life’s very real tragedies, as though the full pallet were itself something to ignore for the sake of preserving a lofty worldview based on half truths. Optimism of this nature appears attractive, multi-billion dollar industries assert the power of wellness and mindfulness. We are not short of gleeful influencers, spiritual guides and life coaches keen to show us how to chase the day and ignore the night. However, every glass half full is a glass half empty, every planet in the sun has a side in the shade. Every whole has its half measure. Like it or not, our glass is leaking.<\/p>\n

A Glass Half Full Frame<\/h2>\n

Since metaphors map semantic frames<\/a><\/span>, I thought it would be interesting to consider which possible values the glass half full metaphor can distill. For instance, water is our optimism, our life force and our fuel. When we see it evaporating before our eyes, from the mindset of a glass half full, the logic would have us believe it’s forever here now<\/em>…until it’s not. Like Xeno’s Paradox, a dwindling supply in a shrinking glass is half full, forever met with the optimistic gaze of grateful half measures until there is nothing left.<\/p>\n

The Glass Container<\/h2>\n

The category of beverageware<\/em> or drinking utensils<\/em> evokes several frames; the restaurant, a wine bar or pub, a home kitchen – all social and familial settings. Much like food, drinking has a strong sense of community and gathering. Glass is fragile, transparent and malleable. In this case, the glass operates as a person, the water signifies their perspective. The glass container holds that we are transparent, malleable beings, restricted to a dichotomy of being half full or half empty. That is to say, when we accept the idea of this analogy, we funnel our worldview to either optimism or pessimism. While optimism certainly wins friends and influences, pessimism necessarily becomes socially ostracized and labelled. He’s a dead weight.\u00a0<\/em>A downer. A bummer. They’re such a drag. They’re dull. <\/em><\/p>\n

But that is not to equate pessimism with cynicism. Cynicism is when one’s glass runneth over and yet attributes everybody else’s dwindling supply as a product of human nature. It’s when people build spaceships on the backs of exploited individuals and insist the only way to save us is to colonise a dead world.<\/p>\n

Wellness industries are committed to ensuring we never succumb to our negative emotions while in their hands. It is only when we peel away from these dopamine mills and training camps that the rose tainted effects wear off. At that point, re-targeting teams are ready to up-sell their victims ever-more fluff to top-up their glass every season or so and patch their collision with reality. But trauma is a real experience and grief means loss, and you can not feel half<\/em> a feeling about any one of those things. You can only reframe and to a limited degree, ignore.<\/p>\n

Negative Feelings<\/h2>\n

It’s okay to feel<\/em> negative sometimes. There is no shame in acknowledging our emotions. We often have legitimate reasons for them and we must, to paraphrase Dr. Gabor Mat\u00e9, look at the pain, not the mask. Many self-help gurus have sprung their careers on the backs of people who feel lost and afraid, exploiting their emotions with dogmatic promises of transformation and confidence. That’s not to say meditation, yoga or waking early for a morning run are not beneficial, indeed there are legitimate benefits to a healthy lifestyle – but a lifestyle is a lifelong commitment with no fast results.<\/p>\n

Many take the path of least resistance and turn to unqualified influencers or self-help giants in the wellness industry. They promise a quick and simple fix at a high but single cost. When your esteem is low you a vulnerable. These industries have been known to use their power imbalance to pressure people in vulnerable positions into parting with savings.<\/p>\n

Vulnerabilities and Quick Fixes<\/h2>\n

Being honest about our vulnerabilities takes strength and courage. There’s no shame in seeking professional and clinical help because a quick fix is not always the answer. Many people have life-long problems that take years to train, navigate and manage strategically. And that might even call for changing society at large so people’s needs may become visible to others.<\/p>\n

To put it another way, 12 rules just doesn’t cut it. Adult duties like cleaning up one’s room doesn’t motivate the depressed and chronically fatigued. Fixing one’s posture to signal one’s status only serves to shame the disabled. The mythology that often surrounds the wellness industry operates mostly on blind faith, quick fixes and get-rich-quick schemes. This very same faith narrows our vision to fantasies that damage us. When we turn a blind eye to anxiety and fear, we expose our vulnerabilities to bad actors and circumstances. That is because fear keeps us alive.<\/p>\n

Live Fearlessly<\/h2>\n

Why is it that so many self-help influencers are COVID deniers and anti-vaxxers? The language one hears from these people is always the same.\u00a0Be open to alternative facts. Do your own research<\/em> (clearly a skill most of us are not aptly equipped to do.) Be an individual who does not rely on handouts or be told what to think.<\/em>\u00a0Don’t live in fear! It’s just a flu. Be free! Do what you want.<\/em>\u00a0Just enjoy today, stop worrying about tomorrow. <\/em>Eat well, take your vitamins and you’ll be fine. I got sick but I recovered easily.<\/em> However, it’s not that fear itself is always irrational, today it’s mostly economic and environmental. If fear is weak then courage is strength. But what happens when that courage is based on a misplaced worldview that does not align with reality or one’s prospects of survival? Does it translate into licking doorknobs and embracing anger – the immediate substitute for fear? Does it translate into rage conferences and public events staged to flaunt social distancing? Prominent anti-vaxxers are losing their fight against reality and their lives to COVID.<\/p>\n

Positivity Lines the Pocket<\/h2>\n

Wealth and self-interest are themes that run deep in the wellness industry, as self-interest and preservation is also valued as a type of strength. These metaphors (morality is the pursuit of self-interest<\/em>) emerge from Adam Smith’s concept of the Invisible Hand<\/em>, working to benefit all when we each maximize our profit by following our individual motivations.<\/p>\n

There is also some overlap with religious and spiritual ethics, involving a type of market animism that gives a godly and unknowable power to the market’s all seeing influence of busy, invisible and productive hands. Since tough love is also an aspect of these teachings, it’s easy to understand the market’s logic as a stern, unforgiving lawmaker that rewards the righteous and punishes the wicked by virtue of their depraved, lazy and feckless ways. In other words we see a strong and free individual, moral that they can stand on their own two feet, earn and fend for themselves because they know their wealth, their true value. The wellness industry promises to make us all such adamantine figures.<\/p>\n

Living with Fear<\/h2>\n

It’s no wonder these industries are so lucrative. While it’s true that in many respects our global situation today is wealthier than it has ever been, it is still a world tenuously structured around uncertainty and crisis. So we look to the positives and ignore our anxiety. But if you ignore your senses you ignore your survival instinct. The primates that ignored a shifting bush in a dark night fell prey to the saber tooth tiger, while the gene pool inherited the instincts of those that rightly feared the unknown. We need fear, it tells our bodies when something is wrong. But we need to manage our fear to understand when it is being used against us and when it is justified or not.<\/p>\n

Human Evolution<\/h2>\n

Humanity faces a cross-roads. On the one hand, we can continue on our path, over the cliff edge, to a hotter world of great instability. Present reports tell us <\/a>that this course will likely tear apart our society and cause mass migration and starvation. It is a man-made result of a system gone awry and will reek havoc on biodiversity and surely be a death knell for a global civilized world. COVID 19 was, in essence, our training wheels for this situation and it calls for unification on all levels.<\/p>\n

When rising mountains in The Great Valley Rift<\/em> cut off the flowing rivers in Africa some 6 million years ago, it reduced a spoiled and lush landscape to a barren Sahara. For the primates stuck in that wilderness, their characteristics changed. No longer spoiled for mates and food, they could not afford to be at each other’s throats for the greater share of resources. They had to work together, hunt in packs, forge increasingly sophisticated tools and methods of mimetic communication. They walked up-right to keep cool, lost their hair, their fangs and became more empathic to similar groups. We should meet our crisis today with the same resolve. Turning a blind eye will send us over a tipping point that will destabilize the world.<\/p>\n

We would expect nobody to ignore grief when a relative dies from preventable illness. Nor should we expect less when communities grieve the loss of their homes when record heatwaves reduce their lands to ash. Or when super hurricanes wash away their towns, or when another island sized ice sheet breaks off the ice caps.<\/p>\n

Tools and Networks<\/h2>\n

It is through connection, communication, and using our tool-based know-how, we can choose a better path working either around or with the necessary institutions to take the steering wheel out of the hands of those who can not see the road from behind their piles of money. It’s likely we won’t be able to prevent the world from warming now, but we needn’t send the species into a death spiral. Solutions exist, many of them social. And today, thanks to a globally connected means of communication, we can organize like never before.<\/p>\n

Hope Keeps Us Alive<\/h2>\n

I don’t adhere to blind optimism. But I do live with hope, because like fear, hope keeps us alive. My stance is one of positive nihilism that pushes us to both see the world for what it is and make careful choices about it. When dropped into a glass of water with no way out, a small rodent will quickly give up and drown. However, when given a means to escape, that same rodent will swim 70% longer the second time around in anticipation of another lifeline. Hope makes us strong and keeps us alive. To quote the socialist author China Mi\u00e9ville, we must hope with teeth.<\/p>\n

I am hoping the global capitalist system does not fail us. But I must confess, from what I’ve seen, it is a system that flourishes on short term profits and fails to plan for the future. It’s imperial ambitions are still short term, factoring regional blow-back in as an externality. Should we ever meet the climate change crisis with the same investment and interest as we do with the Western military industry, we could improve this planet and save biodiversity. But until we hammer this into the heads of those in power or threaten their financial life line, there will always be another war, another regional conflict, another reason for political chest beating and one-upmanship – and the market will fall short of resolving a crisis in a structure of short-term solutions and half-measures. The market is slow, delayed further by every grifter out to make a buck and pacify our attention to the planet’s fire alarm. We need action yesteryear. Time is ticking. And the glass is running dry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
