Nothing haunts us like the past.
Although ghosts have been often the object of fear for the little ones, hidding under the beds,
as we get older the ghosts seem to be more terrifying and persistent, not leaving with dawn!
Whether you believe in ghosts in the metaphysical sense or not, you cannot ignore the ghosts you create growing up.
Whether that is the fear of dying alone which we see as the main drive in many people who get married to people they don't love or the unforgiving feeling on the things we haven't or have said to people, the ghosts we create are a personal responsibility.
The ghosts are different for everyone. Outspoken people are hardly haunted by things they haven't said opposed to introverts for example as they usually speak their mind. Although I must say being an outspoken person myself, something that doesn't get said, can bug you for all eternity.
Insecure people I have seen are most commonly haunted by thoughts of being alone, not being liked, regardless of the fact if they like or not the other person. Insecure people I have found to be the most common examples of these 'haunted' personalities as they usually do things to please others in order to be liked or buy other's love as they think they are not worth it. Insecure people are most commonly haunted by their own insecirities as it creates many issues and feelings of loneliness, unacceptability, worthlessness etc. These are usually the type of people who create their own shit storm and then cry when it rains shit!
Ofcourse all types of people have their ghosts and they differ for everyone.
The most creative types seem to carry them with them hidden in dark corners of their minds. Creative peole seem to be tornmented by the ammount of intelligence they have and we have seen such examples in the cases of many artists which have unfortunately lost it and left us far too soon (eg: Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain etc). Creative people are very much similar to the idealist and well read individuals with a high sense of social responsibility and equality issues.
I have been thinking in the past that the more knowledgeable and well read someone is, the more depressed they must be, being aware of the things that are happening eg: politics, social issues etc. The unaware are happier in their own little world. Of course these are educated, creative individuals who have a sense of social responsibility and not the type that is interested in making money in all costs.
Ofcourse ghosts may be of emotional states. I have experienced through the relationships of friends how an old friend, ex partner or things we have said can haunt us to eternity. This ofcourse all linked to people we once cared about. There must be at least one thing we have regreted to have said or not in our life, even the people we did not set straight when we should have and decided to be the ones who will not drop to the other person's level.
Turns out the only good thing that comes out of not giving shitheads a mouthful is that you make it easy for the shithead. Letting them off easy instead of making them hear what an arse hole they are.
This works the other way as well. Ghosts can be the things we did do, like not treat people who deserved it better although this does not have the same emotional gravity as we don't exprerience pain and these usually turn to feelings of regret rather than ghosts.
Ghosts can be mean little fuckers. They can sneak up one day and start following you around. If you are the ocd type, you are fucked. Can't get those out of your mind even when you sleep!!!!
They are like a fucking curse.
The ghosts we each have inside us are different for each one of us. We create them ourselves as we are not born with them, like phobias. We are responsible for creating them, keeping them and killing them ourselves. No one make you feel guilty, do things that make you guilty or not feel bad about your actions.
We are the creators of our own shitstorms and responsible for the ghosts we bring to life by what we do and how we go about our relationships.
