TI can hurt you a Tiny bit

This might come as a surprise, but there exists another world... 

One we all have excess to, a place within ourselves. It goes by many names; the self, consciousness etc. The little voice inside is an outdated term, as it can only apply in the narrow sense, i.e. if it’s only one voice and whether that voice belongs to you. Whatever it is referred to, everyone simultaneously exists there as well as in the external world. The difference being that while we can interact with others in this external world, in the internal world you are on your own. Your own thoughts, your own conscience. 

 Though others can’t access your internal world (yet! See digital migration) they can influence it. Every person radiates energies, which can pierce the veil between your external and internal existences and gradually seep through, interacting and affecting your internal self. These energies can either be negative or positive. It is hard to distinguish, but the future depends on your ability to tell the difference.  

 People who impact your internal world negatively are simply called ‘toxic individuals’, T.I. for short. Their internal world filled with negative toxic energies, it leaks out infecting others. They are unaware of their toxicity, but everywhere they go environments tend to be toxic. Often times an identifying trait of these individuals is that they tend to always be the victim, consciously lighting the match that started the fire yet taking no responsibility, instead claiming others drove them to it. Because when a mirror is held up to a normal, nontoxic person they see their own reflection whereas a toxic person can only see what was or what’s supposed to be, never what is. 

 Toxic people exist everywhere, they can be a neighbor, colleague or friend. They can be a brother or sister, often a parent. In most severe cases they can be a partner. Exorcising any toxic person from your life is not easy, the difficulty increasing exponentially the closer in relation the individual is to you. Due to this often times people choose to forgo excising the individual, instead they try, despite evidence to the contrary, to change the individual. However, word of warning, individuals often mistake the change in themselves as evidence that the other person is changing. 

 The nature of toxic substances and their ability to transform individuals is well recorded throughout history. Just as an example, take the documented case of four innocent turtles stepping into toxic sludge, who thereafter transformed into violent, mask wearing, weapon wielding teenagers. A TI will change you to a point where your standards has been lowered to such an extent that what would have been unacceptable is deemed acceptable. The greatest threat to you and therefore the future, is toxic people. 

Beware, you have been warned.
