Leftovers at Tiffany’s: The Danger of Pretty Faces and Empty Souls

It is always important to understand the significance and life giving power of empathy. So many walk around caught up in their own every day lives without ever noticing those around them. To some extent, everyone is guilty of this state of mind, from time to time. However, there are some so consumed with themselves, their disregard and lack of regard for humanity is nearly pathological. Among them include individuals such as:

The pretty girl who is so used to being catered to and waited on, she lacks the proficiency necessary to serve others and be responsive to calls for help. 

The successful executive who is so used to being praised, he fails to recognize and appreciate subordinates, without whom, it would not be possible to enjoy his realm of success.

The parent who cannot effectively express love because, for them, the obligatory material things should be enough to compensate for the spiritual and emotional validation that children so often need.

In my life, and even quite recently, I have encountered those incapable of compassion and stepping outside of themselves as a source of life and healing for others. They are spiritually feeble and feelings of consternation only arrive within matters that concern their individual selves. 

Then you have those who feel inconvenienced by the trials of others and are quick to eliminate people and situations that remind them of life’s ever present trials and tribulations. They are quick to cut people off, sever relationships and run away from discomfort with the speed of a jaguar on Ritalin. 

Additionally, there are the poor souls who loathe being placed in situations that force them to step outside themselves. These individuals may even be responsive those who reach out, however, only when there is a clear benefit to them somehow, even if it is simply being place in a positive light among those whose approval they value and crave. 

The never-ending victim, who never does anything wrong. ***insert compassionate sigh here***  They are completely unable to acknowledge their role in conjuring chaos and stagnation which seemingly follows them around like a stray cat. Whenever they do something remotely altruistic, the whole world is made aware and they must show that to ‘help’ someone was out of the goodness of their heart......and also the inconvenience of a lifetime. They will often complain of feeling under-appreciated or not appreciated at all, even when the receiver has expressed gratitude and/or even offered compensation and recompense. 

Lastly, there are just the straight up empty souls with the pretty faces. The wives who are inattentive, demeaning and unsupportive who become the victimized faithful spouse when their mate is forced to reach outside of the home for the love they wish they had on the other side of the door. The prettiest faces with the lipstick that the paints mouths they use that speak death and destruction in the ears of the presumably weak. They are good at feigning concern when they have pushed someone to a point of spiritual and/or physical death, hiding the vials of venom behind their backs that they spewed without hesitation. They are the husbands who will beat you, take you to the hospital to get patched up only so they could have a fresh canvas to paint with bruises, cuts and terror. They are the mean girls who will push you to the brink of suicidal ideation, have you taken to have your stomach pumped only to start from step 1 with the mind fucking, once you are ‘well’.

So why am I writing about these people? Because maybe someone will look one day and be self-reflective about their own practices of compassion - or lack thereof. In psychology there are classifications for extreme ends of this type of self-centeredness and disregard and some may very well fit into those diagnostic categories. But even more so, there are people with spiritual illnesses. When a person physically dies, they begin to decay. The biological processes that are necessary for proper decomposition can also be toxic to living bodies. The condition of some people’s spirits mimic the process of decomposition. They lack life and vitality for themselves, let alone others. They are decomposing and everyone they touch risks spiritual infection and exposure to the pathogens that ail their souls. Until they even realize the severely indigent condition of their own souls, they will continue to decay and only able to offer nothing but the leftovers from the products of decomposition. Are you that person? Is there someone in your life who IS that person? What are you doing to protect yourself? How will preserve yourself by either being more compassionate or avoiding contracting the deadliness of other people’s decay? What does self-reflection look like for you?
