Walking with Monsters - Victory

 So the results are in.

Apparently I won. I'm getting my way. I fought and succeeded.

Bit of a relief, but also a bit of a let down.

Then the post analysis plays out. The monster I was walking with - are they really a monster? Or do they just have some broken moist robot issues? What is their self esteem like? What is their home life like? Is this defeat going to send them into a spiral? If they are on mental health medication (it seems like everyone is these days) will they need to up the dose?

Life is messy messy messy.

I think the amount of reflection I do, and the discussions I have, hopefully mitigate the chances of me becoming the thing I am trying to avoid.

That is my hope anyway.

As the farmer says to the crowd who keep visiting him to tell him how fortunate or unfortunate he is.

 "We'll see."
