I think wisdom is overrated.
Many people use it as a substitute for their own lack of intuition and creativity.
I say that hypothetically of course, since this is an idea I had to relearn instead of simply being able to notice the fact.
Anyways, what do you think you would you do in my current situation? Would you try to 'figure out' what to do, or do you find the next steps to take obvious?
I'm a pretty confused person, there's no denying that, or maybe this is just a rightfully confusing situation, but I'll try my best to explain what's going on:
It started with the rare occasion I made the decision for myself to have a holiday, so I went to Japan to visit a Shintou shrine.
I was motivated by a character in a manga who had a life changing experience from going to one, so out of respect to that character I wanted to copy the things he would do.
I didn't expect for my life to change as dramatically as his though.
When I stepped passed the gate, I immediately felt like there was a separation, that there was an inside world and an outside world. I was too afraid to turn around, so just focused on continuing the steps of praying at the alter to calm myself down.
As I closed my eyes ready to make my wish, I was interrupted by a hand on both my shoulders.
That's right, a single hand. It was large enough for my head to fit in the gap between its fingers that rested on my shoulders.
So, knowing was likely about to die, I rushed my prayers.
As if I had insulted the hand for not praying respectfully, it crushed my body and threw me to the other side of Kyoto.
When I woke up, the painful amount of adrenaline that I thought was being experienced only a second ago, was switched off as if I had never been scared or hurt in the first place, but the memory of what had just happened was too vivid to deny.
I looked around me and saw I was suddenly sitting up right in a white marbled temple, and the first thing I felt was confusion.
And now, here we are, I haven't moved an inch from this spot, I don't know what to do.
Is something going to come for me again, or am I safer if I stay put?
I'd rather not be jumpscared around a corner, so if I must find out the hard way, I'd rather it come to me.
