You vs You

When you become your own enemy. When your mind starts weaving terrible nightmares and plays nasty games with you. When you know what is and what is not. but you cannot stop thinking. When you know it all - the cause, reason, effect and ramifications - and you still fail to convince your mind to stop the incessant torture.

I suppose, sometimes there is no escape. And we have to face the demons residing within us. Fight them.
You loathe yourself for being so unfair... to the people around you and to yourself. It's ugly, this war, this unrest, this chaos.
It's ugly and unnerving and insane. But you have to do it... for yourself, for your people. Because at the end, you know, these demons are not real. They are mere figments of your oppressive imagination.

Sigh...

It's funny... the relationship you share with yourself. It's the most mysterious one, the most enlightening one. 

Mine is a Myth.

These four words took birth in my mind when I was 15 years old.
And till date, I haven't found a set of words that supersede the veracity of this one.
Its realization is a revelation each time.

Mine is possessiveness. Mine is ego. Mine is destruction. Mine is false delight. Mine is melancholy. Mine is anything but real.

Yet, we persistently use 'You are mine' & 'This is mine'.
It's out of habit perhaps.
Also, oftentimes we do not recognize the ugly truth behind it, and therefore use it superficially.

There is a thin line between the feeling of possessiveness and belongingness.

You are mine - is possessiveness.
I am yours - is belongingness.

The former is all about taking while the later is about giving.

The joy of giving is matchless, and we all may not agree on it, but sooner or later, everyone realizes it.
