Black holes of self...

There are many deffinitions about what a black hole is... in a very rude way, we can say that those are objects of huge mass and energy, and that energy is not flowing out towards the universe, but inwards towards themselves... there is so much energy concentrated there that not only is their own energy absorved but also all the surrounding "astro-bodies" are pulled towards it. They are like a negative sun... in a way.

Anyway, this is not a treaty about phisics... the thing though is that there are sometimes people that are black holes themselves, but black holes of energy, of love, or passion. They have so much kept inside, so many things they have never being able to let out, to let go, to explore and explode, that at certain point in their life they become a black hole, and they start sucking all the energy around them and pulling it towards themselves.

Some people call them energy vampires, and they may not know that they are doing it... but it happens a lot. It only takes one of those among a bunch of friends to turn the energy of the group upside down and make bad vibes flow around the room. And, on the other hand, those kind of people tend to, as I understand, develop cancer and other stuff like that, because they just cannot let things out.

I don't know why but as I was driving back from the bank I thought of this analogy... and I believe it works... it could be considered lame, but it makes the point. The energy vampire concept works, but I like the black hole idea because it talks about an excess of unreleased energy that causes that. And in most cases that's what happens, the person becomes a walking black hole because they don't deal with issues and don't let stuff out of themselves... without realizing that the light they need in their lives comes from within them, they start absorving it from everyone around... and at some point they can even make people feel uncomfortable without any real reason.

Now... what can we do?... if we bump into someone that makes us feel in such a way we realize they are a black hole, we could help them somehow by making them realize they need to let stuff out and find light within themselves... but mostly we should avoid becoming one, by living our lives and feelings in their fullest, and just allowing us to feel, to desire, to crave and love, and want, and hate, etc. To deny our feelings I believe is one of the worst things we could do.

To be honest this post is not making that much sense to me at the moment... but I believe it's a decent start for a better post later on, or just some idea to develop further... thus I will click "publish" so that it doesn't get lost. (do coment please... maybe together we could develop a better idea).
