The Evil Inclination; The Good intention; The no inclination

Every so often the evil inclination says "Hello" to me, and every so often I answer "What's Up?" back. It's a game I play with my better half; me trying to do good, him trying to set me back. Like a schizophrenic trapped in his own head, a war all day and night, good and evil shout it out. One on one shoulder, the other on the other shoulder, each demand my attention.

One day I said to myself, "Self, what are you doing this for? Why are you letting a war go on in your own head?" So first I killed the evil, then I did away with the good. I went to sleep a happy man with the knowledge that at least I would sleep well tonight, uninterrupted by a Talmudic argument going on in my head.
