I See You

Plotters, schemers, liars, and slanderers always amaze me, and I wonder where they find the time to hatch their insidious plans. I also wonder whether or not they understand what they send out into the world usually comes back to them. Truth is their plans are often revealed in some form or fashion, and sometimes one of their minions has a clash of conscience and owns up to their part in the scheme.

 

Being raised as I was I grew to be hyper vigilant and aware of the emotions of others, it is a survival tool developed by the abused, and it stays with us. Some call it having empathy, and consider themselves empathic, but I know it is just a tool God gave His children who suffer under the hands of trauma, abuse, and neglect, an early warning sign to prepare ourselves for the worst.  

 

A lot of us are familiar with thinking of someone and having them call, or a series of coincidences that change our thinking and show us something we hadn’t considered before, or when that anxious knot appears in our gut before bad news, or the nightmares that come before severe loss. Some people call that being psychic, but for survivors of abuse, it’s just the way we grew around the wounds, and that sensitive scar tissue always responds to things we can’t yet see.

 

What those schemers and plotters fail to recognize is that when you live a dishonest life, full of lies and deceit, you can’t expect your minions not to lie and deceive you. When you put ugly thoughts and words out in the world, you shouldn’t be surprised when those things turn back on you. When you are not trustworthy, you should not put your trust in others. When you built your world around falsehoods, it doesn’t take much to topple that creation over.

 

I’m smiling today because someone dusted off their conscience, and that makes me happy. It’s not like I didn’t know what was going on, but confirmation is always a good thing. Liars and deceivers will always end up being lied to and deceived, and I am very grateful that that is not my world.
