If someone punched us in the face, what would we do back?
Most likely fight back, protect ourselves
The same goes if someone pushed us, touched us, or tried to control where we are going
But what about our minds? We’re less disciplined in this sense
Because we just hand it over willingly almost, not giving it a second thought
To television, to social media, to what others are doing or saying
We sit down with our friends and families and the phones get pulled out within minutes
We judge others as they pass by
And most of the time we aren’t even aware that we’re doing this
It’s a waste, ineffective – and the reality is no one is making us do these things , it’s self inflicted
Our bodies – their temporary , we could be thrown in jail or lose an arm.
Our minds – that’s ours. We must protect it , it’s our most prized possession
