Read the passage from Animal Farm. And the behaviour of the cat was somewhat peculiar. It was soon noticed that when there was w
ork to be done the cat could never be found. She would vanish for hours on end, and then reappear at meal-times, or in the evening after work was over, as though nothing had happened. But she always made such excellent excuses, and purred so affectionately, that it was impossible not to believe in her good intentions. What is the central idea of this passage? The cat is hungry. The cat means well. The cat is lazy. The cat is ignorant.
. . .when there was work to be done the cat could never be found. She would vanish for hours on end, and then reappear at meal-times . . .
From these sentences, the Cat seems to avoid having any responsibilities. Rather than helping others during working hours , she chose to went away and let the other works on her behalf.
But, despite having no contribution at all to the group, she stills come back during meal hours. This mean she still getting as much resources as those other members who actually made an effort.
So the positive mess would be facing your fears and reducing your anxiety. The negative message would be avoiding certain situations, will cause you to miss out or stop doing things you want and need.
