The Tyrannical Warden

1 min readJun 28, 2022

A human lives with a force whose might he will ever scantily come to understand.

It is not circumstance that is the true cause of anxiety in his life,

It is not the devil,

It is the creation of his mind,

The mind is an ephemeral element which changes preference and mood every other time.

The human being who live as the mind has not choice but to be leashed along these moods and preference.

He lives at the mercy of this tyrannical warden.

A human will make decisions in his life that seem logical and the mind will agree with them in the moment.

Then, sometime passes and the mind will create anxiety about the decisions he has made.

It will not care about the correctness of the decision.

It will not care when the human tries to convince it about the correctness of the decision.

It will erect barriers and become immune to the justification of the decisions and go ahead and create anxiety, or any opposing feeling.

It will do this every time, not because it is evil but because it is it’s nature.

A man is affected not because he is stupid but because he lives as his mind.

He lives in the domain of mind.

In this domain peace, equanimity, realization, lasting satisfaction will always necessarily be on the horizon.
