Where are my enemies?
I remember watching season 2 of Vinland Saga, which took a drastic turn from the first season. Though, it was a natural progression of the story, I expected more violence, hoping for the main character to flip out at every opportunity that presented itself. But the writer surprised me, impressed even.
How can you put something so profound to paper? Communicating enlightenment the way he did. It was beautiful to witness and only now do I begin to experience this for myself.
The bar for offending me is getting high, I mean really high. I see brothers, girls that melt in my presence, I see kids, some of them bratty sometimes, fun to watch, but no enemies.
The internal feeling that accompanies it isn’t always dominant, but comes to the surface when I go grocery shopping.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not a doormat. There have been moments where I communicated displeasure or anger in a very Khan-like way. People literally shrink and immediately become apologetic, like my anger is the worst disaster that can happen. I also notice awareness rises along with anger, ensuring I don’t misuse it.
As soon as boundaries are reset, my anger also resets. This is the edge, with deeper layers wielded when necessary.
PS: I used “girls that melt in my presence” and not “sisters” because I’ve literally not encountered someone that fits the bill, except my biological sisters. Most of the women I encounter end up melting, like a wholesome blend of attraction, respect, friendliness and safety.
