Are we creators of our circumstances, or are we, helpless victims?
There are people that will convince you in first, and others convincing you that we are victims. The wise man would say that they are all correct.
Are we the ones that summon noisy neighbors that make so much noise at night that we can’t sleep and are feeling ill, or are we just victims of coincidence/destiny?
Let’s say that we are summoning such toxic people. Wouldn’t it be hard to believe that we are such subconscious masochists that we did not when we have the power to do all we want, summoned kind and considerate neighbors, with which we can be friends and enjoy?
But, to quote a book title – What the f@§* do we know?
Maybe we attracted such neighbors from Hell so that we finally learn to stand for ourselves? So we will have to ask them for peace and silence.
But what if they don’t listen? What if they attack us? Maybe this is happening so we can learn to lean on others? As we will not go to darkness or give up. We will call a landlord if they are renting or police. In most cases, it will be enough.
Why are other neighbors not doing anything? Maybe they are foreigners, of a different religion or skin color, afraid they will be one that will have to move if they complain against natives. Unfortunately, this is often the case. Locals can have links to a landlord and accuse you. Or they can be in the police. Or they know police officers so that the police won’t do a thing.
What then? Well, there is a chief of police or local media. And if neighbors are good with them also? Well, then we were wrong in the beginning, and our lesson was simple – we have to move. That could be a move we always wanted but always found reasons not to do it. So when God/Universe/Flying Spaghetti Monster/You Name It did all nice things to make us move, and we ignored it, He/She founded a way to kick us in the butt and sent us on a voyage we desired but we to inert to do it.
Or we are just not lucky. And we will have to endure it until we don’t get broken. It is not always possible to move (maybe you just moved in and have a year contract or bought it and have no money to find something else). If we don’t want to be victims and slowly get intoxicated by the venom that neighbors produce, we will have to go out of our comfort zone and just do it. Whatever we find best.
