Your Capacities vs. Mine

At first, I thought this would be easy.

Just tell them about probabilities or rather, *synchronicities* and the shared thoughts of great thinkers.
But very quickly, I ran into old acquaintances on the street who were absolutely pissed off about the whole thing.
I couldn't understand it at all; the only explanation I could find was that they were suffering from the sheer overload of their daily lives.
There were quite a few among them who threw their own work commitments in my face, unable to fathom how I could dare to step out of line like that.
They held their own limited capacities up against me as a reproach, and they were furious.

While I was trying to figure out the root cause of all this, an explanation finally came to me. And once again, you aren't going to like it.
But what I saw and what I now understand is simply a form of communication with your children on equal terms. It explains everything for instance, why I was viewed as a pedophile when I was at the playground. It’s because that particular person is dragging around a complex a psychological hang-up that keeps them stuck in place, unable to move forward. To people like that, it seems perfectly normal to go to a playground looking for...

I don't even want to write that down. The thoughts going through that person's mind are so perverse that they simply have no place here.
So, where exactly do *your* capacities lie if you can no longer even distinguish between good and evil or right and wrong?
