The.. unfairness. The subliminal jealousy - that's.., that's the best way to describe it. Oh it's so difficult to shake!
Do you know what I mean? Do you have an idea, can you picture it?
An unfairness of the kind that makes you grind your teeth and bite you lips, until there's water in your eyes.
What's the root, of it, I ask.
Tell me, you bunch of crazy people, you!
Ego?
That's how it goes. You serve, you work so hard, you bite your fucking lips until it's all blood, and aaall for nothing. In the end you don't even have the resolve to go and demand what's rightfully yours.
But is it, really? Imagine, you don't really want it. You *know* you don't want it. The zen side of you murmurs in your ear - "relax, let go, you're above that, you're a pure soul!.." - but the Ego! Oooh it gnaws upon you like a starving hound. Like a leech it's hacked its teeth into your soul, and it leeches, leeches, sucks away the peace, the balance, what little you had.
And then you're hurt, outwitted, outbid, conned, a curly ball of nerves, a galore of ugly issues.
How long will this fight last, I ask. I can't take it no more.
