Water, sand or stone 2

The inner enemy is our own favourite ideas. We keep them as holograms in our mind. Often they are very fragile constructs, built on dreams, wishes, partial memories, pieces of observations and knowledge...
We have a strong instinct to defend them while attacked. They might be extremely vulnerable. When they are challenged it hurts, as if they had nerves.
Sometimes our inner holograms are related to external facts in complicated ways. Ownership and authority can be linked. It makes things more complicated.
Actions and ideas of other people can also influence our holograms, sometimes making them stronger, sometimes weakening them.
If we have very strong holograms we are daring and can do a lot. That is often considered positive.
Are realistic holograms to be preferred? Yes, what is realistic? The knowledge of our limitations or of our potential?
