Imagine you lived in a place where ‘neighbors’ all had binoculars to stare into your back yard.
And you could see them using them; what would you do?
Now pretend that they are people you have known for some time and you did not have any idea why they would be so invasive in creating a fear of your privacy being completely compromised; what would you do?
After polite confrontation, perhaps they would deny that it happened and then…
You would probably make a fortress of your home that would be my next answer.
With that said, could their over indulgence in nosiness make you feel safer or paranoiac?
Safe in the respect that they were checking to make sure that you were okay.
Or just too prying with too much interest in your life and perhaps they have not that much going on in theirs?
All this is just speculation and supposition and only possibilities when you live in close quarters in a tight neighborhood, with closely situated homes, with people from all countries and all curiosity levels, of course, hmm?
Suppose that you too have binoculars to use and you too form an opinion that you should counter their attack with your own nosiness; does that seem like a just retaliation?
Tit for tat, we used to call that in life’s getting even movement; nonviolent, but rational behavior of some adults, hmm?
If I were to say that these fictional people now switched it up to photography of you in your no longer private home’s yard, what would you do with that?
Add in a telescoping lens to see inside your home as well, now what?
Do you too buy the same equipment to deal with their inappropriate display of taking away all that you hold near and dear?
And when is this a police issue?
Or would you believe that enough is enough and take out your automatic weapon and shoot them to get back some peace of mind in your odd mind?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooo...
You have just been in the twilight zone of presumption; a short drive into your psyche of what ifs…
My point is that without any weapons it can be a very calm discussion of why and if nothing works with no other alternatives you either live with the issue/problem or you talk to the perpetrators and ask them nicely to stop or you make your own home more private with fencing and or plantings…or a last resort is to hope that they move or if nothing helps, you do…and that is what civilized people do!
In other words, always be kind and rewind if you need the time to change your mind to one of refined.
Some nights I just want to start another fictional story, perhaps a book and write that here and ask each of you to add to it and continue on and on, indefinitely, with all our imaginations just taking off…how swell would that be?
But with me not receiving any feedback of late I could probably start something, but I have no idea if you would be there to continue what I started…, hmm?
The concept would be unique in the respect that we all have vivid imaginations, most artsy people do and we could really share it all with the world, since this is read in ten countries in ten languages weekly!
Oh well, something to think about, hmm?
On that idea of my imagination; I hear Dr. King and John Lennon both saying what they were known for, a dream with all our imaginings in tact…not so different.
Tonight’s experiment was a short feeler to see if anyone besides me wants to create a new writing concept online in a blog and so with that out there for all to think about, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and to ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who, and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?!
