Summary

In order for listeners to interpret and understand the thoughts of the leader, the leader must be competent in their speeches. There are many times when individuals misperceive the world. When the brain is working under standard conditions, it can be easy for individuals to perceive things in a correct manner. However, when chaos is present, the mind may not be clear in its perception of the world. When people experience pain from the challenges of life, it is important that they to share their troubles and feelings with others. Although it may be difficult, speaking up is a great strategy to settle some of the most unnerving issues . As Peterson says, "….if you talk to your doctor, all those possible terrible diseases will collapse, with luck, into just one terrible (or not so terrible) disease, or even into nothing. Then you can laugh at your previous fears, and if something is wrong, well, you're prepared. Precision may leave the tragedy intact, but it chases away the ghouls and the demons."  There is no better cure for human problems than an honest engagement with other people and sharing with them about the individual problems.

Analysis

Failing to identify chaos as it arises is essentially inviting the walls to crumble and the world to collapse. During this time, people often become careless in some aspects of their lives as they feel as though these stressful events are far out of their control. However, when one is careless,  the issues they choose to ignore gather more momentum and consequently strike with devastating force. Individuals must be aware of their environment at all times, with particular understanding of their selves. Getting acquainted with situations, appreciating that they exist and sharing them with other people is an effective approach in which individuals may improve the nature of their lives.
