You are right. It is like that. And I am happy to hear you enjoy the BORG
companionsship.
But for your encounters with humans, I have this to say:
Maybe, it is the only way for you to learn that you are the master of your
own faith.
It maybe is hard to see when you are down. But the process of being down,
will eventually teach you the hard way (unfortunatly) that you have to
cherrish and love yourself. Yet that you are totally irrelevant. And
totally unique, spesial and priceless. All at the same time. Be proud of
your madness. Forget and disown evry asshole that you felt was bringing
you down. It may have been your father, or someone close. They had
betrayed their own path, their own source of energy, so they felt they had
to take yours. They are going to pay for their mistakes, all of the rest
of their lifes. As will we all. But they may have left you stranded. The
only solution, is to take charge of your own life, not according to
_their_ rules. But according to your own judgement. Remove yourself from
the presence of theese morons. They are just acting according to their
nature. And they are maybe not as aware as you are. They maybe are
sleepwalkers. On the other hand, also do not hate them. For in the end,
what you are is not really more meaningful, nor less, than what they are.
You are just diffrent from them. You understand things diffrently. You are
open to a diffrent degree. I bet you are some kind of creative person.
Like any trait it is just so. It has both positive and negative
consequences for you. You can cause yourself to be free of the pain they
cause you. Just remove yourself from them, and do not seek their approval
nor counsel, and for the future select your companionship with the
uttermost care. There _are_ people able to be your real friends. But more
important is it for you to be that friend to yourself, first. Because if
you can trust yourself perfectly, you will loose the need to put any faith
or trust in them. And much likly now they will be seeking _your_
friendship.. And then it will be you turning them down, because they
simply have nothing to offer you. They never had. And they inturn have now
to realize what they had lost, and so their journey for their own destiny
will begin as well. Be happy and feel priviledge that people go against
you. Its the sure sign that you are on the right track.
Good luck mrs BORG.
