Instalment Sixty One

The hippies, I am afraid to tell you, were right. People do ‘give off vibes.’
They aren’t vibes though, it’s energy, stray mental energy. They were right though about the good and bad, ‘I’m getting good vibes offa that guy,’ or ‘Bad vibes man.’

Maybe massive consumption and erratic combinations of hallucinogens gave them the ability to see these ‘vibes’ but if that is true then they would have seen us.

When someone is happy they radiate positive mental energy, beaming out from their very being. There are people in the world, you probably know one, that are always going out of their way to help someone, make a joke, cheer you up or just generally try to spread cheer. These people, and they don’t know this, are powered by the good mental energy. So subconsciously they run around being nice and happy only to benefit themselves.

Then there is us.

While the terminology isn’t correct, the easiest way to explain us is this – we are Misery Vampires. Pain parasites.

And we know what we are doing.

Causing people grief feeds us, bad energy nourishes our soul.

There’s most likely someone like me in your office, watching, waiting to feed.
