RE: Steem Basic Income Giveaway (Inner demons....)

in #contest7 years ago

Whoo, this is a much more involved question. I like it.

I would have to say that something my inner demons tell me to do all the time is feel guilty. There are many things I do that aren't perfectly adhered to the moral and environmental standards I'd like to hold myself to. While I know this isn't the worst thing, and that individual actions aren't much compared to the actions of multinational corporations, that inner voice is furious with me, and tries to make me think of the damage I've caused. It's very hard to not acknowledge this, as I'm aware of the accuracy, but it's not helpful for me to blame myself for things that ultimately don't amount to much difference. I struggle with this regularly, and find some days it quite darkens my mental health. But, I'm working on it. On the plus side, this inner demon helps keep me on the straight and narrow, so I'm not too opposed to it.

Oh, so your inner demon is quite virtuous! Or is that a wolf in sheep's clothing?

It's hard to say. Sometimes it feels helpful, other times it just makes things a lot harder.
