Another me.

[Jye]

 
As Jeff's theme "Another Me" reverberates through the arena, the crowd's reaction is a mix of confusion, disbelief, and intrigue. Jeff walks out, his usual vibrant demeanor subdued, replaced by a more introspective aura. His face carries the weight of contemplation as he absorbs the mixed emotions swirling around him. He steps into the ring, the spotlight highlighting his presence as he takes a moment to soak in the atmosphere. His eyes scan the audience, acknowledging their reactions, but there's a newfound sense of resolve in his gaze, a determination to speak his truth regardless of how it's received.

Jeff Hardy: ". . ."

Jeff decides against speaking for a moment as the crowds negativity is impacting Hardy's inner self image, Maybe Hardy isn't up to the task to let these people know what's going on with Hardy because what if they don't understand his methodology, Hardy's mind is clouded and his judgment marred by the hatred he feels. Something new for the usual love everyone has for Jeff. . .

Jeff Hardy: "Why? Why Jeff? Why would you attack Matt?. . . That's the noise I've been hearing all week from those who pass judgement, I break my body every time I come out here and all I see, hear and feel is negativity, You have those who want me to go more extreme on one hand, while on the other you have people saying I am a health risk and am breaking my body, They say it's sad to watch me wrestle because what I put my body through. . ."

"I've heard it all, every criticism, every doubt. And for the longest time, I let it consume me. I let my ego drive me to prove them wrong, to silence the naysayers, to be the best at any cost. But you know what I realized? That ego, that need for validation, for approval, for superiority, it was all just an illusion. I've spent years chasing after something that never truly mattered. I've pushed myself to the brink, risking my health, my sanity, all for what? To feed my ego? To satisfy the expectations of others? No more."

"In Buddhism, the concept of ego is often referred to as "ātman" or "anattā." It's the false sense of self, the illusion of separateness that causes suffering. It's the constant need to protect and enhance this illusory self that leads to attachment, craving, and ultimately, disappointment. But I refuse to be a prisoner of my ego any longer. I've let go of the need to prove myself to anyone but myself. I've found peace in acceptance, in embracing who I truly am, flaws and all. "

Jeff breaths freely for the first time in a long time as his words are released, No more a prisoner to his own ego, Jeff is free at last. Jeff pauses before continuing...

"In Buddhist philosophy, detachment from attachments, even familial ones, is seen as a path to enlightenment. It's about breaking free from the illusions that bind us, including the illusions of family ties and societal expectations. My attack on Matt was a symbolic declaration of my emancipation from the past,So critique my actions if you will, but do understand this – I am not a villain driven by malice. I am a seeker of truth, a warrior on a journey of self-discovery, and I will stop at nothing to break free from the chains of the past and embrace the authentic, unapologetic version of myself. Matt, I hope you can find it in yourself to understand, for this is not an attack on you; it's a declaration of my own liberation."
