Invisible Wars

How does one go about fighting battles that can't be seen?

Insanity is proving much more evasive than previously believed. Coming out of nowhere it hits then vanishes in the blink of an eye. Hitting back is a stupid yet compulsive attempt at putting up a useless defense against an attack that's already been fought and won. Negotiating only buries you deeper into its dungeons and in the end you lose all your limbs and your soul to boot.

No rhyme nor reason. No shame, no holds barred. No end in sight. No beginning to speak of. It came. It saw. It conquered.

Sit and hold. Stand up and glare. Stare. No use in closing your eyes, it comes to you from all sides. Insides and outsides. Clench, grit. Sweat and focus, and last.

Battles that can't be seen aren't meant to be fought, but to outlast. This, too, shall pass, so sayeth the wise. Not triumphant. For there are no winners in such battles. No prize to be had except the wisdom of living. Shut up and live.
