A Little Happiness Just for You

Post 53: Am I a Chicken?

November 15, 20221 min read

I was talking with a friend recently who said something to the effect of, “Oh no, I can’t believe I had that thought.” They were concerned what it said about them as a person that the “awful” thing they just said came from them. Did it define them?

I pointed out this one thought was just that: one thought. They also had countless other thoughts throughout the day, and their life. Did having the thought, I wish I could make all people feel better. make them a great person? Does having the thought, I am a chicken. make me a chicken?

Hopefully going to such an absurd ending makes my point.

I have a judgy little hooch inside me, too. I have a spiteful a-hole inside me. I have a constant complainer inside me. None of them are me. I choose what I really think and feel. Thoughts run past my awareness all day long. I choose which ones actually matter.
