It’s said that one doesn’t have to look too far in the world to find proof that evil exists, that is true. For the doubters there is even aromatic evidence. Imagine you are in a conservatory, large and Victorian in design flowers from all over the world grow in abundance. For light and added mood this large structure is filled with candles of the scented variety designed to arouse your senses and lift your sprits. Conversation is soft and among the visitors to this paradise on earth elegant ladies with deportment worthy of the models who grace the cat walks of Paris, Milan and New York waft by teasing you with scent from Belmain, Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent. 

The hour is early and less than a mile away an 8 year old boy is deposited by his mother at the gates of his preparatory school. Well breakfasted, before he starts his day of education he feels the need for inner cleanliness.  Leg slightly apart and pulling a face worthy of second prize in a gurning contest he breaks wind.  The noise is like that of a Mercedes taxi blowing a gasket, sharp and distressing. But it is that which follows the noise that resonates with all and sundry.

Babies cry, cats are seen scuttling into laundry baskets, dog faint and the bottles of fizzy drinks in nearby shops change colour.  A few short seconds pass and suddenly all the beauty which surrounds you is piecered like a knife into a balloon. John Milton wrote Paradise Lost and you have experienced it in all its evil, acrid pungency.

What on earth is a “Voice Stalker”? I got this idea from an online horoscope I read today. “If a plan is working, make the most of it. If it’s not working, change it. And if you’re not sure whether it’s working or not? Well, that largely depends on how long you have already been giving it the benefit of the doubt. A lot of people spend a lot of time living in a make-believe world where ‘hopeful signs and signals’ are frequently seen, yet no real change ever comes. You’re not obliged to put up with an unsatisfactory situation for a moment longer than you want to.”  Interesting isn’t it? 

If I discovered a girl who I wanted REALLY WANTED and contrived to be where she was, kept in contact with her, did everything within my power to attract her attention, showered her with gifts and attention, phoned, sent texts, visited her at work, at home all to no avail what would that make me? The advocates of positive mental attitude, the marketing experts, those who say things like “winners never quit and quitters never win” would say that some day she will be mine. What think you m’lords, m’ladies? Mmmmmmmmm CREEPY STALKER!  Exactly.

Review your wants, your desires and your dreams, get real. Am I saying you should give up on your dreams? No. I am saying that you should stop stalking something that has told you many times already that it will never be yours. Don’t give up on your dreams, give up your obsession and find a real dream, your dream and that dream will come true
