The theory about interiour monologues is that they don’t really belong to you. Your inner voice has developed from years of familiar and societal affectation, and you can’t stop it anymore than you can stop breathing air. Of course, the voice will be very similar to you (whatever “you” is/are), but you have no control over it. It is an independent wandering stream of thought that just happened to sit through every boring class and hot date that you’ve ever attended.
Oh well, back to home sweet home, where i will scavenge for food like a badger in the wild. Does anyone know what badgers eat?
Meanwhile, have you ever tried to cease the babbling of your internal monologue? Can you truly stop it, or just bury it under a sea of calm. Try it sometime … i don’t think you can make it stop. Of course, the question raised if you can’t stop it is – does it really belong to you? More on that later…
