I had such an unsatisfying experience of "I" yesterday, whining 
about something or other, and "I" just couldn't get myself to 
believe it. "I" could feel that the whole experience was just paper 
thin at best. Really amusing when the ego tries to insist upon 
something that obviously isn't there. Must've been a faint 
impression left over of past behavior. So I just changed my mind or 
let the thoughts drift away and solved the imbalance.
