Sometimes, I just stare at people or look afar blankly while seeing something else altogether, not the scene or people right in front of me. Something in my mind catches my attention and it takes me someplace else. I'm often lost to the world or to the present like that.
It's not dreaming. I'm not so much of a dreamer. It's more of seeing something.
I usually see things other people can't. I'm not referring to ghosts. I see life from many angles not many people see it from. I have these weird life perspectives seen from unusual vantage points. I don't know how I get to see life from these angles and others don't---it's probably because they very seldom wander from where they usually are.
I wander a lot. I mean I often walk aimlessly and get to places few people have been to. I just find myself in a new place with unique scenery. For instance, I often find myself in this gallery where I see pictures or paintings where everyone else is included but me. They're all inside the frame looking at me while I'm outside looking at all of them. They see me but they seldom see others in the picture or painting, and they never see themselves in it.
Then they all laugh at me, finding it ridiculous that I alone am outside the frame. And then, in my mind, I also laugh at them, finding it ridiculous how they're all crowding inside it.
But I always wonder why the Painter never thinks of including me in His paintings.
Well, I have a lot of advantages being outside the frame. For one, I can walk anywhere I want around the gallery to see pictures from various angles. People inside the pictures or paintings can't do that. They merely move their eyes or turn their heads around to follow me move around the room. Sometimes they see other paintings or pictures, but they can't see all of them. In fact, they don't even know there's a wall at the back of the frames they're in---or that they're frames (or their world) are merely hanging by a nail embedded on the wall.
I once pointed that out to them but they just laughed at me incredulously.
Actually, I have all the advantages.
But they're the majority and their outlooks or perspectives are limited by the corners of the frames they're bounded with. I know how the majority is often wrong (it means all the fools are often on the same side), but what good is being right when you're all alone in your correct corner?
And anyway, when they're all wrong, you often appear to be in the wrong, not them. And they easily dismiss you as being merely judgmental.
But we cannot all just avoid being judgmental all the time and just assume that no one is right---or that no one is absolutely wrong (they say rightness is just a figment of the imagination or it depends on culture or things like that). Somebody has to be right---because he or she uses God's universal standards of being right---and right people should point out the wrong to people who are grown accustomed to wrong things.
People inside the frame won't believe that you are outside theirs or won't believe you're not included in any frame in the room. They maintain that you are in some other frame of some sort---and you just think you aren't. They say this because they are not able to roam around the gallery. You can. But the problem is, you alone can do this.
