If this is your voice, then take a moment to think why you would want to talk to yourself so much. For a moment, you could be thrown off with that sentence, but then the same voice comes back to you asking, then whose voice is that? That question makes you belittle the realization. My first breakthrough came when I was made to realize that ***I am not the voices in my head.*** Read that again and try to understand it. So, what happens then? You remain mediocre in your endeavors and, worst still, a victim of your chatter. And if you can’t pay attention, then you are losing opportunities standing right in front of your eyes. When you can’t stop the chatter, you can’t pay attention. The problem with the inner voice when it makes us believe that it is our own is when the most damage is done. It had been on for more than twenty years of my life, and therefore know what I am talking about. But how do I know? Because I was a victim of this chatter for a long time. This is so because they assume that that chatter is their thought process. But here is a surprise, many do not even know that chatter is going on in their head. ![]() ![]() I am sure there aren’t many who wouldn’t know about the chatter in their head. ![]() ![]() ![]() Although never explicitly stated in the book, Orwell remains among the poor of Paris and London in part so that he might tell their story with authenticity and authority. Orwell, an aristocrat by birth, refers to this life as “the suburbs” of poverty, and it is worth noting that Orwell’s experiences as a poor man are, in many ways, less desperate than those of the men with whom he keeps company. He subsists on bread and margarine, nutritious food tempts him from shop windows, and he is always just one misfortune away from real disaster. Having spent his last cent on milk, for instance, chances are good a bug will spoil it before he has a chance to drink it. The impoverished man meets misfortune at every turn. Life on six francs a day, Orwell discovers, is a precarious existence, full of daily setbacks and humiliations. Orwell is not left destitute, but nearly so, and thus his first experiences with true poverty begin. His financial situation grows even more dire when a thief robs a number of rooms in the hotel. Orwell, who supports himself by giving English lessons and writing articles that once in a while get published, is down to his last four hundred and fifty francs. ![]() ![]() When Down and Out in Paris and London begins, the narrator, George Orwell, a British man in his early twenties, is living in Paris’s Latin Quarter, in a bug-infested hotel run by Madame F and occupied by various eccentrics. ![]() |
