Lizards of the Mental Maze

Have you felt it? This presence presiding over your experience of life. Like a slimy and watchful lizard issuing silent judgements on each of your decisions. It has silent judgments on each of your actions. The judgmental buzzing of this creature in your metaphorical ear is same as that of the reptilian eyesore on the ceiling. Always there, staring back at your being.

And, if you are lucky, sometimes there's a jury of lizards out there. Hurriedly buzzing in the marketplace of your mind. Each one of them has an opinion on your doings and undoing. They also possess the entitlement to express it.

This arrangement breeds toxicity. And that drains your energy. So much so that it seems taxing to live. For living means deciding. And with each decision comes the deafening buzz of reptilian judgements.

When the alarm buzzes, a simple decision whether to snooze or to get up becomes a battlefield of competing opinions. But beyond this blood and bones of thoughts and judgements lies the answer to the question you were meaning to ask. All this while, beyond the artificial presence of fearful lizards, is that answer.

 

But the question is, what is it that I seek to ask?
