Some
people are good at not looking. At not over exposing themselves to all the
difficulties in life, so they have enough information but aren't too
overwhelmed.
Others are really good at looking. Partially out of having learned that acquiring an accurate frame of reference supports the most helpful responses we can have. Those individuals often have difficulty muting their sensitivity, and end up habitually going around looking at all kinds of things no one can really tolerate very well.
There really is a cost-benefit to choices, and what fits really depends on who we are.
And then there is modulating, so that if we're looking just enough but not too much, we can take it day by day.
So that we garner a clear sense of the situation, without laying ourselves to waste.
In dire situations, the whole deal changes. The whole deal is too much, really. And yet, in what other situation is the measured acquisition of accurate information, coupled with us finding ways of settling ourselves, more vital, to develop the best sense of how to proceed, and how to be.
Sometimes in dire situations, we engage in the helpful balm of distancing, compartmentalizing, and detachment to allow us to find some ease in our days, because unrelenting focus is no help at all.
But it's important to remember periodically what in fact we are doing. What dynamic we are engaged in. An overview, now and then .
Simply because, as we move down the road of whatever experience we're having , thinking we are healthily modulating our focus, we may be avoiding the hard deal of truly looking.

Of
examining,and collating information that possibly just might save the day.
