Another quote from Survivor. This one is talking about psychic ability:
You can tell people the truth, but they’ll never believe you until the event. Until it’s too late. In the meantime, the truth will just piss them off and get you in a lot of trouble. So you just walk home.
It’s true. You spend more time trying to prove to people that you know what you talk about, trying to get them to trust you, than just telling them that they’re heading towards something they may not want to collide head-on with. But often, they continue down the path just to prove you right/wrong. Or you tell them something they don’t want to hear and resent you for it.
I do that too sometimes. Ignore what I see. The messages from places coming from I don’t know where. Because I don’t want to trust them. That we can really see things. That we can really get messages. That those who can see have certain responsibilities. But the worst things in my life happen during the times I ignore those messages.
Ignorance really is bliss.
