Sides

The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.

Carl Jung

Every coin has two sides. Each story has its own tales. One might act out of the best of intentions, but will be misconstrued by others. Some people think that whatever they do will not affect other people. Love thy neighbour, the old saying goes. The ‘neighbour principle’ says the law. It all goes back to the same thing, whatever you do, or don’t do will invariably affect others.

Sometimes people are just oblivious to this. They just go on, seemingly unconcern to everything that goes on around them. They get lost in their own world, uncaring to what happen in everybody else’s. Or so it seems to us mere mortals. Could it be that they can’t stand the sight of us, that it is much easier to ignore than acknowledge our presence? Perfunctory greeting, obligatory conversation, because our voices are grating in their ears?

Scientists call it chemistry, I just call it annoying.
