About This Quote
Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite. People often use the word “battlefield” to refer to a situation where you must fight for your life. But, this is a bit of a misnomer. In fact, the battlefield is not something that exists.
It is a place where emotion and desire can take you. It is right beneath our surface, but we often don’t realize that we are on the battlefield until we feel the pain of losing the battle. We may even think that we aren’t fighting at all.
