Have you ever wondered what it's like to be someone else? Not in a materialistic way - as in, what's it like to drive a BMW Z4 and live in the hills of Malibu? I mean, what's it like to be in someone else's head? What are they thinking? And not, "what are they thinking about me?" Just, "what are they thinking?" Have you ever been in an argument with someone where you simply could not see their point of view, how they could possibly be thinking/doing/saying what they are, and feel they're justified in doing so? What are they THINKING?
What they're thinking is this: "I'm the 'good guy' here. I'm right." You see, everyone is the protagonist in their own story. Think of how your own mind works - even when you know you're wrong, you still empathize or even sympathize with your actions. People almost always have an excuse, or at the very least, an explanation. Which means they somehow feel justified for the way they are, or for they way they view a particular situation.
The voice in my head, while not always necessarily nice to me, is typically on my side, egging me on, offering me an endless supply of justifications for my current moods, actions, words, etc. Call it ego, call it delusion - it's the human mind. So what's it like to experience someone else's delusion like it's "right." What is the "antagonist's" mind-voice saying to him/her, that perpetuates and justifies their delusion?
So what's the voice in your head saying to you?
Please, enlighten me.
Because personally, I think you're crazy...
