Trying to write stories based on real incidents.
Once upon a time there lived an Empath. She is very calm, sensitive, introvert and not an attention seeker. Her neighbor is a very old lady. Things were normal and suddenly the old lady started to spread rumors about the girl. The girl was upset, she was thinking why that old lady did that when she did not do her any harm.
One night when Empath was sleeping, she had a dream. In that dream she was the old lady. That lady when she was young had few mis carriages and suffered a lot. Empath felt her pain, the sadness, the screams, the tears. Empath lived the life of the old lady in her dream. Now the empath understood, whenever the old lady is seeing her, it reminds her of the mis carriages.
Immature empath should have showed more compassion towards the lady. But the matures empath knows, the old lady will project her pain on the empath. The girl set clear boundaries with the old lady. And the old lady understood she can not manipulate the girl.
You may be thinking why the Universe made the girl live that old lady's painful life in her dream. It is because if the girl understood the intensity of the pain, then only she will realize protecting herself is the first duty.
Compassion towards others is good. But showing compassion to the people who hurt you is wrong.
