I think that such relationships would not have been quite as upsetting in earlier times, but in today's day and age, I can see the conflict. Imagine meeting someone that is on an entirely different level than yourself, while still somehow existing there with you. To look into his eyes is a very sobering thing, but I think the word "sober" can be taken to an extreme... into the realm of sociopathy.
I fully believe that the strange natures of these creatures can rub off on regular folks like you and I. The more time you spend with them, the worse you'll get. You'll get more and more sober until you don't even understand what it means to be human. The worst part of it is: Just turning your back on the fairy is no easy thing. You can't just stop. You got to keep doing it because it honestly seems like the most real thing there is in the world.
There's a violent passion in there somewhere. It radiates out of the eyes and strikes us as so fascinating. I don't believe we actually have the ability to turn against it. And when curiosity is your master, a sense of duty can often spell the end when it comes to the ultimate choice that is: Will I cross that gap into the world held within that set of eyes. Will I do it? We shouldn't, I suppose. But what sort of world do we have without it? A bunch of people all walking about like zombies, ultimately going nowhere?
The human heart is fiery and strong, but it has its limits. Nevertheless, bravery and courage are still important... and life is only just so long... and eternal life is never-ending. What we do now is important. So if you have to do something that makes you crazy, maybe it isn't such a bad thing. Maybe crazy is what we were to begin with.

OTHER THAN HUMAN is especially disconcerting when SEEMINGLY human, I would suppose. The alien is more comfortable when "somewhere out there" but very uncomfortable when within the world we deem our own.
ReplyDeleteThe creep factor is something you can get comfortable with... but at what cost?
DeleteFascinating, it is a scary thought. If we have any kind of relationship with a fairy there is always a set of rules that comes along with it, giving up that freedom is my fear. Indeed it does seem that those who come in contact with them do carry an imprint, I believe they become extensions of the entity.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's a definite shock to a system and one that should permanently remold one slightly.
DeleteFairies are highly intelligent beings who operate on an entirely different level. So, any sort of relationship will tend to be a frustrating one. The biggest obstacle to overcome is the tendency to humanize them.
ReplyDeleteWell, a lot of the time they look human, but that is because the Creator also "looks" human. Or better put, we look like Him.
