Mind games!

Have you ever wondered where the inner voice comes from? Have you wondered who the sometimes nagging voice belongs to, the one that floods your thoughts? You know maybe an overdose of Hindi movies in my childhood left a lasting impression in my mind where I'm reminded of 2 bewitching ladies, one dressed in white and the other dressed in black which pop up every time I'm trying to take a decision. So the good one, stereotypically, the one in white always is telling me to do what is right and the one in black is the one that tempts me to do whatever is supposedly not the right thing! So who wins? Well, the answer varies, sometimes both do and sometimes both don't. As I grew older and hopefully wiser, I realised that I ended up doing what felt right at that moment. Hours of analytical thinking and logical reasoning didn't help me at all. So let me try to break it down. So who is this lady in white? It is our upbringing, years of being told what is right, what is wrong by our parents, teachers, books, influencers who have drilled the laws of society into our heads. So automatically, just the way a robot adheres to a command, our mind maps what is supposed to be right. So who is this lady in black? This according to me is not the evil one, though it definitely has shades of negativity, it is what the inner being wants at that point. Sometimes it could be selfishness that drives it, sometimes the need for attention, the reward of a happy moment, or maybe plain ego boosting, whatever the reason, this lady in black always attracts us more than the one in white. So is this the way the human mind is trained or are these mind games that we play?
