It feels like it’s has always been present, a fixed appendage to our soul. It molds to the current, but ever changing context, dependant on existential as well as internal variables.
The Bad Thing. Unannounced, it makes its presence known, invading our thoughts, trespassing on our peace, insisting we pay homage. It is never static, but always on the lookout for vulnerable territory. “Is my child safe driving home from the party?” “Did my husband’s plane land safely?” “Did my mother take her medicine?”
The moment reality takes away its power, The Bad Thing simply packs up and moves to a new, defenseless residence. “Is my job safe?” “Does my boss like me?” “Was my presentation convincing?” “Will my promotion come through?”
And, when the world defies its premonitions, The Bad Thing, may simply overtake our essential core with the final, all encompassing question, “Am I good enough?”
