COMIC....
Like tonight. I saw some old acquittances at a meeting that I hadn't seen in a while. It was a shock actually. They had aged so much. Not just the body but their life-force. Seemed to me that they were living in fear. Maybe fear of death or becoming disabled by age. They could not smile but just stared blankly ahead.
I tried to engage them in some friendly talk but all I got back was an icy, glaring, snarly look of distaste. Did I have dog poop on my shoes? Maybe someone did die?
I tried a few times to break through to some sort of loving exchange but nope, each time the ice formed. It actually became humorous.
Finally, I challenged, in a loving playful way, "Why are you ignoring me? You're talking to everyone else. (Albeit in a cold distant way) But ignoring me."
"I'm not ignoring you. I greeted you." (stiff cold response)
"When? What did you say?" (smiling and playful)
"I don't remember what I said." looking bewildered
They managed to escape to another part of the room.
I was not going to get any warmth. It was solid ice.
But I found it very, very funny.
Like a cartoon.

As I am at my table eating, two people go by and one sits alone, eerie smirk on his face. Talking to himself now, very strange.
If you look at the situation from a distance, it might have been funny. Of course, even a blind horse sees that something is definitely going on and that you’re being ignored. I don’t know what’s worse: being ignored or such an icy reception. In itself, it’s of course terribly sad, I mean, someone is nice to you and then you react like that. Perhaps that’s a good reason why they’ve aged so much. Now that I think about it, it could of course also be that, precisely because they’ve aged so much and you haven’t, that difference is felt and causes envy.
It is sad, really; they became that old and still don’t dare to be honest. Stay away from them, then you won’t pick up all that negative energy either. If you did have a laugh, I’d be very curious to hear their reaction.
♥️🍀
It's uncanny how you are able to put yourself in other's situations like you do. I also tried to understand and came to some of the realizations you mention.
But then I just had to let go and accept that we were just existing on different planes. (Not sure where their plane is going but I definitely know I don't want to be on it.) :>)
As I see they take off which is for the best. I just hope that planebwon't land over here. I like my peace without bad vibes.
No, they can't land here!
