Ghosted for My Intelligence
The Allegory of The Cave is more than just a story about perception and experience.
Being ghosted for intelligence is an excellent example of how people only look at the surface level and of the shadows on the wall through the flames.
They have succumbed to the shadow puppets on the wall.
Being wise has always been a challenge for some people to look favorably towards to when it comes to looking for an eternal mate. People would rather find an easy person that thinks less about academics and more for the sake of sexual fantasies. Keep the fantasies within your relationship but not as a judgment call to finding a person that meets your wants as mistaken needs.
The people the wisdom will never be fooled that rush into any relationship.
Especially when that relationship is built upon physicality instead of spirituality.
The new normality of people getting into a situationship.
This is the painting of the soul and the heart in the form of a rigid casualty.
When a person leaves you for your being smarter than them, then let them go. Go and become the man you need to be for the woman you need. They will not be the woman you need because they have refused to see the value in you and refused to build a bridge with you. What they have done cannot be undone.
Once they ghosted me, I found others that would take their place and be the people that help me grow. How many of you are in the same situation? You may believe that your life is over, well, the truth is that your life is beginning.
Their mind is based on instant gratification. When it falls apart that is when they will come back; however, do not treat them as the prize. They will be the destroyer of your soul if you allow them to come in to your life. A parasite they have become. Cast them off and into the fire.
The fire is cleansing
The fire is the past
The statue you see on the wall through the fire is what they are.
A piece of your life that was holding you back. DO you really want to go back to the kisses of deceit?
Or
Do you want to get up and walk outside of that cave?
You have already done the walking outside of the cave. Are you sure that you want to go back in and try to change their mind. They are only sitting there for you to remain with them at a surface level of suffering.
