Earlier today, I watched my friend while he played chess on his own. He wasn’t mentally unstable. He was simply bored. But watching him play chess with himself, being the one manipulating both the black and the white pieces, I had a thought…
What side is he on? It must be hard to choose, knowing that both are his. Somethin’ hit me. I thought that it’s harder when you are your own opponent because you do not know which side you’d choose. Both are yours, and you have to choose which of which would win.
You know your own strategies so it’s much easier to cheat yourself.
It’s like a dilemma. Both have consequences… and it’s hard to choose between two things. You are your own opponent and whichever way you choose, there are results that would follow.
Then sometimes, when making a decision between right and wrong. We know what to do but we tend to take it all the way around, using strategies and trying to find a way out to choose what we want to choose… not what we need to choose.
