The Gita says you are your own best friend. Same verse says you’re your own worst enemy. It never tells you which one shows up today.
What it says
You talked yourself into quitting, then talked yourself back out of it.
The Gita calls the self alone the friend of the self.
The same line calls that same self the self’s own enemy.
One self, two roles — the verse never says which one wins.
So the fight you’re having tonight is not with the world, it’s with the self.
That’s Decoded, where one line of the Gita turns out to need two readings, not one.
