Pause For Thought
From Sarah Joseph, Editor of a Muslim lifestyle magazine:
"Psychiatrists have highlighted a disorder which they're calling "Paris Syndrome". The illness, which affects mainly Japanese tourists, has been blamed for the repatriation -on health grounds- of at least 20 tourists per year. Affecting mainly women the condition comes when the polite Japanese tourists, filled with hopes and romantic notions of Paris, who sadly only meet with rude waiters and shop staff who rebuff the enthusiastic visitors. The gap between the tourists' idealised visions of Paris in their minds, and how it turns out, are so great that they suffer a breakdown and have to be sent home in the care of medical staff.
This all may sound a little ludicrous and extreme, but it exemplifies quite starkly the pain and anguish that can be suffered when there is a gap between expectations and reality. We all face this reality gap at some point or another. A holiday, a party, time with a loved one, a new job, a new relationship... Anything which we put our hopes into, that doesn't quite turn out as we hope.
In fact, life in general can be like that, which is why another group of psychologists last month said the worst age to be is 45, because you are stuck between the high hopes and aspirations of youth and the peace brought on by finally accepting the reality of old age.
All of this sounds very depressing. And yet it doesn't have to be.
Paris Syndrome and the crisis of middle age are both states of mind. They are a result of how we think about ourselves and our lives. Yes, they are brought on because reality does not live up to our hopes and expectations, but this does not mean we should drop our hopes or high expectations. It simply means we have to look harder for the beauty and joy in our reality.
Life is a giant adventure filled with pot-holes and storms for sure, but also capable of taking our breath away with its roller coaster of highs and lows. And even if we can't all climb the heady heights of the mountain range they do make for an extraordinary view." -
