Soul-Soaking
(noun): the ability to penetrate the interior of another person, to empathise with them
You can't judge it by appearance. Intrusive, inquisitive, elusive digging will liven things up. Sometimes it's just an arm in a sling. It has the quality of suffering felt so deeply that the entire soul is torn apart. And nothing can be done except a sympathetic nod.
The most important thing is the aura. This invisible chemical reaction that surrounds every human being. It makes you think, “Come closer” or “Run away”. This is a typical reaction. Sometimes it's simply a matter of survival. Dealing with an ugly soul despite all the signs it sends, encouraging you to run away. There's nothing you can do until it's over. Then you will only feel a bitter taste. This bitter pill can penetrate your soul until it devours all your inner, important parts for its own pure and selfish satisfaction. Because the satisfaction will only be external, not internal. You will be rotten inside if you don't stop it. If your soul doesn't rise up and impose its own feelings. The ones that make you YOU. When you feel alive. So you really are.
This doesn't happen often. Only if you dare to try too many other realities at once, then they will all blend together and be impossible to separate. Then you'll need to use specialised tools to figure it out. But it's all worth it. Know the essence, not the residue.
