The driving factor

EGO: Get on with it, why delay? You bear the brunt every single time yet you don't relent.

ID: Isn't it one life, isn't it my life? Don't I want to do what I feel like?
What about the gaping questions of being a virtuous and that inner desire of being the paragon?

EGO: Why doesn't that come to be as simple as me taking my own decision?
If it were that easy what would the multitude do? Wouldn't they give up on their daily struggle, struggle wouldn't exist at all.

ID: Isn't that what we are looking for? A free non-competitive world.
There I catch you, you have always shied away from competition. Why is it that you do that?

EGO: Isn't it evident? I am pretty sure that winning isnt't my cup of tea and rather than losing, I prefer to stay away from it.

ID: Argue on buddy, but till you brace failures and losses what good is winning then?
Oh this is a cliche that failures are the path to success, have failed in everything and cannot bear any more.

EGO: Count the number of years you have lived, just two over the number of alphabets and you think you would be a success already?

ID: What about all those who make it big young and dandy? Who put to shame those who dwell on experience?

EGO: Those are the few who make you resolve that you are a loser? Isn't the majority those who dwell on experience? Aren't they the ones who make up the mass?

ID: I do not want to be a part of mass.

EGO: Be defiant, be argumentative - you are not this in real life. Tell me how many arguments have you had with people? Every time I see you succumb in an argument I laugh my guts out and here you are arguing with yourself?

ID: You are my vent and I shall argue with you.

As I write on with this, I realise that these arguments might well be the fuel for what drives life....
