Living Jinxed

Feeling powerless to create change probably means there's a need to look deeper at what's happening.

Imagine. You are running through a forest, terrified for your life. Behind you is a mob searching for you. They will kill you when they find you. Your body is in terror, running to survive. You trip. You know you are not going to make it. The mob is upon you. Right then, you know that if you had only not told your best friend that you were escaping that night, you would have made it. As the mob finds you and begins to beat you to death, you no longer feel fear. All you feel is anger at your friend. You die sending a message out to the ether “Never trust anyone.”

Does this message that was felt with your entire being die with you? Does it disappear out to the ether never to be heard from again? Or…does it haunt you? Does it come back again and again begging you to change your mind, to see the world differently, to trust again?
