That's how one of my friends likes to start his posts.... Like some old Grumpy Gramps that has a lesson to teach.
Gather 'round kids....I'm going to tell you the not as well known Aesop's fable...about the Empath and the Narcissist.
this is totally played out on so many trendy mindfulness blogs...but I wanted to put my spin on it.
The empath was full of love....walking around....being full of love....she passed by a narc and he made her laugh....and she blanketed him with love and expected to get the same back....
but she didn't...and over the years...the narc began to let his mask slide here and there and she started to figure out what she was dealing with...
and being an Empath...she started to feel all his hurt...anger, rage, and his insecurities....
she realized that all the love she felt before- was just her own love blanket...trying to carry the relationship....
she realized there was no real depth to the relationship.
she saw the narc for who he was.
He went on to do the same things to other women.....and the Empath, being the Empath...understood the pain experienced by others...
One day, the Narc's new love supply- who was just hurt by him....came to visit the Empath...
and it was then that the Empath knew...... Narc's can't change...they will be lonely....in their nightmare.
The narc was even violent with the other person.... and it was from this realization.....the Empath knew...that this pattern would happen with other people....he has a disease he can't see.
The Empath....would continue to be love...to find love...to live in love. The Narc would continue....
to not be love...to not live with love.... and he would be lonely and he would lash out at others...in his loneliness.
Then End.
God Bless it.
Here's to love's path....may it always feel like soft squishy warm sand on your feet.
