“What are you trying to do? Who do you think you are? Who do you think is going to change their mind? Are you sure you really believe that yourself? Did you forget your roots? Did you forget your failures? You realize you have no platform. You realize no one is going to listen. You know its too late, right? Did you know that people really don’t change? This is just an ego trip right? You just want to be seen. You just want to be acknowledged. You just want to know your not a failure, a washout, a “used to be”. Who do you think you are? You know that’s not how the world works, anyway. You don’t even have an advanced degree. You’re really not that good at this – mediocre at best. That’s not compelling. That’s not accurate. That’s not relevant. Your heavenly-mindedness is a liability. You’ve got nothing to add to the conversation. No one invited you to the table. You’ve got no proof. You’ve got no authority. You’ve got no right. Stay in your lane – this isn’t it. People are going to be angry. You’re going to lose friends. You’re going to negatively impact your business. Just be an example. Just be quiet. You can do that tomorrow. Maybe you should just journal about it. Maybe its not time. Maybe you misunderstood. You’ve been wrong before – is there a chance you are again? You have to pick a side. You have to play the game. You don’t get to make you’re own rules. Go ahead – no one will read it. Go ahead – no one will care. Do it – loneliness isn’t THAT bad. You’re going to embarrass your family. You’re going to embarrass your kids. You’re going to shame yourself. Are you ashamed of who you are? Are you seriously going to say that? People don’t read. People don’t care. Make a meme. People aren’t rational. You’re not rational. You sure you didn’t just imagine that? This isn’t how its done. This isn’t how unity is achieved. This isn’t going to help anyone. You’ve got no friends. You – are alone. Maybe pick an easier topic. Maybe try a different writing style. Maybe choose a different picture. How do you really know? Nobody will relate. It’s not fear, its caution. Be careful. Be kind. Go along to get along. Don’t make a mistake. Don’t say something you will regret. Don’t post that, tweet that, do that. You’re not a writer. This isn’t your gift. This isn’t your calling. This isn’t your career. You’re not known. You’re words are clumsy. Your pictures to trite. This is so cliché. Pithy sayings are for bumper stickers. This isn’t worth sharing. No one will relate. No one will care. No one cares. This isn’t original. This has been said before by better people than you. This isn’t going to change anything. Maybe you should pray about it. Maybe you should go for a walk. Did you take your B vitamin today? Don’t you have better things to do? Don’t you need to be at the office? Shouldn’t you be with your family? I’m just trying to help you. I’m just trying to protect you. They won’t listen. They aren’t going to understand. They are going to call you an idiot – again. This is too big for you. This isn’t your fight. Isn’t that obvious? Isn’t that already understood? This will go over their heads. This is too simplistic. People already know. Let’s face it – this isn’t compelling. Your time would be better spent elsewhere. Where’s the fruit? Where’s the results? Things are only worse now. It’s only going to get worse. Those you claim to give voice to don’t even care. My God, did you really just say that? Did you really just share that? Now you’ve done it. You’ve lost another. Your circle is getting smaller. Didn’t I tell you that before? You’re tired. You’re too emotional. This doesn’t make sense. This isn’t logical. You could use better words – different words. Maybe you should just take a nap. You’re tired – really tired. Is it worth all this trouble? How about you just focus on fixing “you”? You can’t even do that well. People will disappoint you. People will not understand. This is the worst thing you have written- ever. There’s no going back. What are you trying to do?”

Jesus: “Why are you listening to this clown again?”
