Nothing fixes a thing so intensely in the memory as the wish to forget it.
- Michel de Montaigne
It's very easy to forget why people try to forget things, avoid, deny, refuse weighted importance, dismiss acknowledgement... It's hard work fixing something when you can just ignore it and hope it goes way... Problems not related to our identity or sense of self often go away over time on their own, however things that are intertwined with who we are or shaped what we are will never go away unless you take action that works (trying without a direction means nothing)
Before you judge someone for not 'fixing' their problem, did you clean your room or your house when you said you would? Did you achieve your exercise goal or new year's resolution yet? 'fixing' or making something better is hard and it's a lot harder to clean a mind than it is to clean your house.
