I've seen people falling into the trap of ego. An infinite vortex of dreams from where they can’t leave.
So sad to see them turn in nothing more of what they fear. They think they have advantage. They think they are on the way to progress. But is nothing more than lies. Nothing more than an illusion built alongside others. Friends that drag them down the hole. Slow and slow falling innocently into the never ending darkness.
Will they ever find out?. This, again, is a mistery. A fortune gift that only the purest souls can get. If Gaia sees through the darkest clouds and tries to clear the mist. Then there may be a chance.
Most of time though, here applies simply letting go.
It’s better to have them as an example and motivation to make the world a better place. Remember we are all victims. Some just recover faster than others. But respect should always prevail.
