‘…Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too.
\nThey live inside us, and sometimes, they win.’<\/p>\n

– Stephen King<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Monsters are empty,\u00a0and ghosts are unsubstantial too –
\nwhen they are realised as so,\u00a0vanquished within us.
\nThat is how we win them all – inside out,
\nconquering our inner Mara before \u00a0the external one.
\nWhen our personal demons are taken care of, outer ones are harmless.<\/p>\n
