We all have demons. It's a part of being human. They may come from our genes, our misfiring synapses, our nightmares, our dysfunctional human relationships. Who knows? There's nothing we can do about having them, and they won't ever go away. They live in science fiction, the movies,
the dark caves of teenagers, the anxieties and unspoken shame of adults.
So how do we go about living with them? First, they don't like the light of day. Drag them out, slap them around if you have to. Show them to other (appropriate) people. Talk to them like they mean something to you, because they do. And recognize that you are stronger for having done this.
With effort you will tame them, but never vanquish them. And you don't want to, because they remind you of your humanity, strength and humility.
