"... So we hoard what's shiny. What's precious. What's ours."
That’s the voice of the Lizard Brain. The primitive part of our brain that controls a lot of our base emotions and reactions. It deals with scarcity, fear and fight. It holds our self-preservation mechanisms and is in charge of the four Fs: Fighting, Fleeing, Feeding and... let's call it Frolicking. I'm trying to clean up my act, you know.
So, obviously, that means drawing a huge bloated lizard, greedily holding onto whatever shiny piece of treasure it can. It hoards it all in a box and acts scary so nobody notices how scared it is, pale, crusty, and eternally cold under its ancient mottled scales. That's us, sometimes, when this old part inside talks in its cavernous voice, trying to convince us we oughta be afraid and always defending our light from The Others.
So yeah, it's not necessarily a role model, but it's an undeniable part of this "being human" thing. So, once in a while, it's good to look it in the eye and remember that we don't have to let it control us. Stare the beast down and turn to OmniCorgi for guidance instead.
