An Enemy Too Close

It always begins with a thought. It could be small, ridiculous and irrational so I brush it away. But it's still there. Then everything that follows begins to deceitfully justify that thought. Before you know it, you believe it. That little thought that wasn't properly discarded lingered and grew.

At DG today, we read that distorted images empower ideas. I can relate to that. If you let a potentially harmful idea remain in your head, it's going to behave like a lens that distorts every image, falsely proving your silly thought. It becomes a filter that hides the truth.

The more these thoughts are fed, the more self-destructive you become. You sabotage your relationships, your happiness, yourself. You become your worst enemy, an enemy you trust the most and could never suspect.

Some go on to play the game of blame. Some, I hope, recognize it before it's too late. Me? I'm just constantly trying to save myself from myself.
