Without an audience, we seldom receive a standing ovation!
The stage upon which we perform our most entertaining dialogue is the one held deep within our own minds. If we are lucky, from time to time we will be able to laugh aloud at our innermost conversations.
In one of my most recent intrapersonal conversations I was attempting to solve a mystery from my youth. You see, in my mind a hippopotamus had somehow escaped from the Milwaukee Zoo and was living in the canal system. Perhaps this was a transmorphizamagination of the old flush a crocodile down the toilet and it grows up in the sewer system fixation. Who knows? I doubt it ever really happened, but just the same, I know it did.
And then the argument begins….
In a fight with oneself, no one really has a chance to win.
My favorite words are the ones I make up myself.
Now, imagine for a moment if any one of our given inner dialogues was played out on a large screen high definition television set with surround sound speakers in front of a group of our most intimate friends!
Would you hold your head up high, proud of your relative lack of sanity?
Or would you die inside?
Or…would you sit and laugh at yourself until your sides hurt?
