Scruples & Qualms

Have you ever been in the middle of making a drastic decision and a little guy in the back of your mind pops up and says: "Hey. Hey you, what ya doing? You REALLY sure you should do that...?". That voice, which never goes away. That voice thats always contradicting everything you say. That voice that always gives you second thoughts. The voice that never shuts up when you want him to. Have you ever stopped to talk to him?

Like really, its a great way to pass time. And he's a nice guy. I'm sure we can all closely relate to that fellow who's relaxing in his Lazy-Boy chair in a distant crevice of our mind. Sure, some people might make fun of you for divulging your soliloquies, but thats only because they can hear you, since you're rambling aloud. But if you talk to that
Jimney Cricket, with his little cane and top hat, they'll never know!

Anyhow, take a moment to envision this, really think about it. If talking aloud when no one is around(or listening particularly to you,) is considered talking to yourself, isn't thinking the same as talking to yourself, minus the mouth movement and vocation of mumble jumble? Pretty freaky, eh? Thinking is just the same as talking to yourself. Now, you say that conversing with that voice in your head
isn't talking to yourself. What if I told you that voice is just your alter ego? NOW what are you going to do? I hope I just didn't pop your bubble and that your world doesn't come crashing down around you. Cause that would be considered a shame, but all in all, that'd be pretty funny. Nah, I'm just joking, about your world crashing down being funny, not that your voice is the reincarnation of your other half.

Allegedly, I have provided you some fuel for thought. Enjoy!

The voice in my head is a bitter old man. He is hunched over with a cane and swears under his breath, so I ignore him quite often.

But sometimes, he has a point.
