Internal Conflict
He looked at the prettiest face he had ever seen (He knows she’s not that much pretty but let’s give it up for poetic Licence), smiling all the way along with her girlfriends at the Bus Stop. He sees her everyday there. Her hair was long, with the scent he thought he could never resist. So much for feminine beauty.
He had wanted to talk to her for a while now. He summoned up the courage today and finally decided that he is gonna do it. Confident and brave, he steps forward. His heart beats compulsively but his determination continues (he thinks so, wait until he messes up).
Another step forward, he starts to have simulations. The major difference between an animal’s brain and the Human is that the Human can vividly visualise the events which might happen to them the next second, the next year, the next millennium, and the next 99999999999 years to follow. Animals can only sense them as the time and event comes., but limited in their ability to simulate things.
A voice inside him says, “Hey, she is with the other girls, they are gonna make fun of you”.
Him: No man, anyways I still want to talk to her, it’s not gonna be that bad. Come on.
The clock ticks.
Voice: She is gonna reject you.
Him: I want to do it, it’s now or never.
One more step.
Voice: You are gonna get humiliated.
Him: Speechless, But walks towards her.
Voice: This is not the time man. Help yourself out.
Now, before I start writing a romantic tale out of the scenario, this conversation is definition Internal Conflict.
It is actually designed to help you in decisions by making you choose between two equally important things, but sometimes too much Helpful. (The previous case is a very cheesy example. I am out of creative options).
The Prospect of me starting another blog was lingering for what seemed like a decade in my mind. Travelling and reading kept me occupied, but my passion for writing tortured me, and thus the war started. A war which ceaselessly continued day by day without any formal conclusion had no scope of attaining consensus.
I finally chose to start my new blog. Not that the intention of me not wanting to write a blog had subsided, but because I choose to write instead.
