Traffic on Airport Road vs the mind

So if you leave your feeling like my freedom is only when there are no traffic on that photo. It's not yet. But that's what we are saying. I use this exaggerated metaphors to make us see how ludicrous it is, but it is how we are. We will say I was very bad because they were thoughts in my mind. But you don't have to cross the road. It is very good. I felt very good because I was getting like one thought in 15 minutes. But you don't have to cross the road. So how come that example is more funny when I'm talking about traffic on airport road and it doesn't have to go. Because when I say it like this then it hits closer home. What is the situation? Which one is the more silly situation? Imagining that you have to cross the airport road or reminding that the mind has to be a certain way for you to do it. Which one is the silly situation?
